A Moroccan aircraft carrying 30 Palestinians wounded by Israeli forces in latest days of the Intifadah landed Tuesday in Rabat.

"We thank king Mohammed VI and the Moroccan people for the move," said one of the injured to receive care in the capital hospitals adding "Al Quds belongs to all Moroccans and all Arabs" and all should be defending it.

The wounded, aged between 7 and 42, were evacuated in ambulances to the nearby Egyptian airport of El Arich where they boarded the Moroccan craft heading for Rabat, the Gaza airport being closed again by Israeli authorities.

Representative of the Palestinian health minister Nabil Haddad voiced gratitude to Morocco and other Arab states who received 500 maimed Palestinians out of the 7,000 victims of Israeli aggression.
