Algeria has decided to send humanitarian aid, as well as civil defense personnel, to neighboring Morocco to assist in the aftermath of the deadly earthquake that hit the country last week, despite tense relations between the two countries, Algerian media reported on Monday. After the Moroccan Justice Minister announced the decision to accept help from Algeria, the authorities of this country ordered three planes to be prepared to help the Moroccans, the local broadcaster reported, adding that two of these planes would deliver medicines, tents and food, while the third plane was expected to transport civil defense personnel to combat the consequences of natural disaster. The media reported on Monday that the death toll from the earthquake reached 2,862 people, while over 2,562 others received injuries. On Saturday, Algeria decided to open its airspace to flights delivering humanitarian aid to Morocco. In August 2021, the Algerian Foreign Ministry announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Morocco, accusing the neighboring state of a "hostile attitude" towards Algeria.
