On August 24, 2026, Princess Lalla Meryem of Morocco received a group of children from Jerusalem (Maqdessi children) who are participating in summer camps organized by the Bayt Mal Al-Qods Acharif Agency. The reception took place in Morocco, as part of the agency's ongoing programs to support the youth of the Holy City.
The Bayt Mal Al-Qods Acharif Agency, which operates under the auspices of the Al-Quds Committee chaired by King Mohammed VI, has been organizing these summer camps for several years. The initiative aims to provide recreational and educational activities for Palestinian children from Jerusalem, offering them a chance to travel and experience new cultures while strengthening their ties with Morocco.
During the reception, Princess Lalla Meryem expressed her warm welcome to the children and emphasized Morocco's continued commitment to the Palestinian cause and the preservation of the legal and historical status of Jerusalem. The children, in turn, expressed their gratitude for the hospitality and the opportunity to participate in the camps.
The summer camps are part of a broader effort by the agency to support social, educational, and cultural projects in Jerusalem. The agency has implemented numerous programs in the city, including school renovations, health clinics, and youth activities, all aimed at improving the lives of its residents.
