Morocco’s King Mohammed VI sent food, tents and medicine aid to Rohingya Muslims

After the active and great help provided by Turkey, we are seeing more countries sending aid to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.
On Monday, Morocco dispatched an emergency humanitarian assistance to Rohingya Muslim refugees fleeing their country Myanmar as reported by Morocco World News.

The Moroccan Foreign ministry said the aid was sent upon instruction of King Mohammed VI to alleviate the sufferings of this Muslim minority and support the efforts made by Bangladesh, which is providing shelter to these refugees.

The Moroccan assistance, consisting of tents, blankets, basic foodstuffs and medicines, will be delivered by military aircraft of the Royal Armed Forces.

In June the monarch took another humanitarian action by giving instructions to send food supply to Qatar following the decision of four Arab countries to cut ties and impose an embargo on the Gulf state, which is depends on food imports.

This humanitarian action aims at assissting the efforts of a brother country to face the massive influx of the Muslim minority of the Rohingya, coming from Myanmar,” said the release.

According to a senior UN human rights official, Myanmar’s treatment of its Muslim Rohingya minority appears to be a “textbook example” of ethnic cleansing.

In an address to the UN human rights council in Geneva, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein denounced the “brutal security operation” against the Rohingya in Rakhine state, which he said was “clearly disproportionate” to insurgent attacks carried out last month.

More than 310,000 people have fled to Bangladesh in recent weeks, with more trapped on the border, amid reports of the burning of villages and extrajudicial killings.
