Bensaid noted that the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency, under the personal supervision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, is pursuing its missions to improve the living conditions of the Holy City’s inhabitants and respond directly to their needs through economic, social, housing, education and cultural projec
