Mauritanian premier in Rabat

Morocco dispatched Saturday a humanitarian aid to victims of floods in several parts of Mauritania. Two aircraft landed in Nouakchott bearing a cargo of 13 tons of blankets, foodstuffs and drugs. A third plane carrying tents and accommodation equipments landed later in the day. Mauritanian Food Security Minister Lemrabet Sidi Mahmoud Ould Sheikh Ahmed voiced thanks to Morocco saying the move showed the "strong brotherly ties" existing between the two countries.
