Since October 2023, the escalating conflict in Gaza has disrupted the daily lives of millions of Palestinians. In this context, few institutions have been able to maintain an effective presence to assist the local population. The Bayt Mal Al-Quds Acharif Agency, however, has chosen to remain true to its method: to act seriously and consistently.
Where others were paralyzed by security restrictions and disorganization, the Agency remained committed. It adapted its programs, mobilized its teams, and strengthened its coordination with its local partners. Between January 2024 and June 2025, it committed $6 million, fully funded by Morocco.
It is worth noting that 33.3% of these funds were allocated to social assistance programs for the most vulnerable families. In addition, 27.5% were invested in human development and small business support programs.
The Agency also allocated 12.7% of its budget to targeted rehabilitation projects, particularly in areas directly affected by the bombings, and 10.8% to the health and education sectors. Not to mention the 15.6% allocated to cultural projects and youth initiatives.
Modernity as a lever for action
The Agency has not been content to simply distribute one-off aid, as it has undertaken a digital transition that structures its action over several years.
This is how we learn that its 2024-2027 strategic plan is based on modern tools: an incubator for young Palestinian entrepreneurs, a platform for documenting and protecting the heritage of Jerusalem and Gaza, the Hayya application intended to raise awareness among children and adolescents about the values of Bayt Al-Maqdis, and the D'lala e-commerce platform, designed to promote Palestinian products and create alternative economic circuits in the face of the blockages imposed by the occupation.
One of the most significant aspects of this modernization concerns education. In partnership with Al-Quds University, the Agency is developing a distance learning platform allowing students to continue their studies.
On the instructions of King Mohammed VI, a $1 million grant was released to support Gaza's education system. This sum enabled the establishment of a robust digital infrastructure, including cloud servers to secure courses, educational data, and exams, a distance learning platform, equipment for teachers, and access tools for students. Eight students from Gaza were also welcomed to the Hassan II Agronomic Institute in Rabat.
As a reminder, the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Acharif Agency was established in 1995 before being structured in 1998 as a social and humanitarian institution, the executive arm of the Al-Quds Committee. Since its creation, it has set itself a clear mission: to defend Arab and Islamic rights in the city of Al-Quds and to protect its historical and urban heritage.
Its action is not limited to the heritage dimension; it also supports the Palestinian population and its local institutions in their daily lives. Through its consistency and commitment, the Agency has become over the years a central player in Moroccan solidarity with Palestine.
