Under the Effective Presidency of His Majesty King Mohammed VI – May God Assist Him, the 2026 edition of the Marhaba Operation to welcome Moroccans Residing Abroad will officially commence on Wednesday, June 10, 2026.

The Foundation Mohammed V for Solidarity launched the comprehensive welcome program simultaneously in Morocco, France, Spain, and Italy, at midnight on Tuesday, June 9th. The Foundation contributes to the implementation of the Operation alongside all national stakeholders.

This support network, strengthened since the previous edition, is built around 26 reception centres across Morocco and abroad, ensuring close assistance at the main transit points used by Moroccans living overseas.

The program includes twenty (20) sites in Morocco. These are distributed across the ports of Tangier Med, Tangier Ville, Al Hoceima, and Nador Bni Nsar; the airports of Casablanca Mohammed V, Rabat – Salé, Oujda Angad, Nador, Agadir Al Massira, Fez Saïss, Marrakech Menara, Tangier Ibn Battouta, Laâyoune Hassan 1er, and Dakhla; the rest areas of Méditerranée, Jebha, Tazaghine, and Smir M’Diq; as well as the border posts of Bab Sebta and Melilla.

Abroad, six (6) Marhaba sites are also operational in the European ports of Genoa (Italy), Sète and Marseille (France), and Motril, Almería, and Algeciras (Spain).

Active between June 10 to September 15, services including social assistance and medical care are provided at all sites to support members of the community of Moroccans Living Abroad both during the arrival and return phases.

Nearly 1,400 people—including Foundation teams, social workers, doctors, paramedical staff, and volunteers—are mobilized through this program to ensure Moroccans Living Abroad are listened to, assisted, and cared for.

This medical-humanitarian assistance program is supported by the Central Coordination Office (BCC) based in Rabat. Supervised by the Foundation, the BCC monitors the activities of the assistance teams deployed on the ground, coordinates stakeholder mobilization in managing situations, and manages the Marhaba telephone assistance service.
