Morocco Mobilizes to Safeguard Citizens Amid Lebanon Crisis
As tensions escalate in Lebanon, the Moroccan government has taken decisive steps to ensure the safety of its citizens caught in the crossfire. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has established a permanent crisis unit to monitor the situation and provide necessary assistance to Moroccans in Lebanon.
An authorized source, confirmed that the ministry is closely following developments and implementing measures to protect the Moroccan community. The Moroccan embassy in Lebanon has formed its own crisis unit, maintaining direct contact with community members to ensure their well-being and offer guidance.
These actions come in response to growing concerns from Moroccans in Lebanon, some of whom have expressed frustration over the lack of charter flights for evacuation. With Middle East Airlines operating as the sole carrier, fully booked until mid-October, many Moroccans feel stranded.
The source emphasized that the embassy has collected contact information for the majority of Moroccans in Lebanon, allowing for continuous monitoring of their situations. Some exceptions exist, primarily due to individuals who likely left the country before tensions escalated.
To address housing concerns, the embassy is collaborating with Lebanese authorities to facilitate accommodation for displaced Moroccans. The source stated that the ministry and diplomatic mission are considering all possible scenarios based on the evolving situation.
The deteriorating conditions in Lebanon stem from ongoing Israeli airstrikes and ground operations, purportedly targeting Hezbollah's military infrastructure. These actions have sparked international outcry, with critics accusing Western powers of enabling Israel's military campaign through inaction or silence.
As the situation unfolds, the Moroccan government remains committed to prioritizing the safety and security of its citizens in Lebanon. The ministry and embassy continue to monitor developments closely, ready to activate further measures as needed to protect the Moroccan community.
