Hundreds of Moroccans stranded in the Gaza Strip are facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. With relentless bombardments, a crippling blockade, and rapidly deteriorating living conditions, these Moroccans are enduring severe hardship without adequate food or safe shelter, while the absence of diplomatic coordination continues to deny them the chance to return home.
The Party of Progress and Socialism (PPS) is advocating for the direct participation of Moroccans living abroad in the legislative elections scheduled for September 2026. Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Mohamed Nabil Benabdellah called for an electoral process that includes overseas constituencies, supported by the mobilization of consular services.
