Moroccans in Spain Set a Remarkable Example of Solidarity and Humanitarian Aid
In the wake of severe floods that swept through the Spanish city of Valencia, the Moroccan community residing there stood out with remarkable humanitarian efforts to support and aid the affected. A recently circulated video, which has garnered considerable attention in Spain, showcases the role of Moroccan Muslims in providing assistance from the earliest hours of the crisis.
At dawn, calls were made from mosques to mobilize relief efforts. Moroccan men, women, and children gathered in solidarity caravans carrying food and essential supplies, heading toward the affected villages. They did not stop at distributing aid but also engaged in search operations for the missing and assisted in rescues.
In a move reflecting the depth of Moroccan-Spanish relations and the spirit of royal solidarity, King Mohammed VI issued his high instructions to the Moroccan Minister of the Interior to make a phone call to his Spanish counterpart. A statement from the Ministry of the Interior clarified that during this call, the Moroccan minister informed his Spanish counterpart that Morocco, in accordance with the royal instructions, is fully prepared to send rescue teams and provide any necessary assistance to Spain to face this natural disaster. According to the statement, the minister also renewed expressions of condolences and solidarity to the Spanish authorities and the victims’ families.
This humanitarian initiative has highlighted the spirit of solidarity that characterizes Moroccans and has deepened their strong ties with Spanish society, especially as their shared history with Andalusia carries a legacy of coexistence and unity. This act by the Moroccans has left a positive impression among the Spanish, who responded positively as well, following the example set by the Moroccan community.
Moroccans abroad, especially in Spain, have proven to be a model of humanitarian solidarity, demonstrating a remarkable example of cohesion and mutual aid in times of crisis.
