The piece of news was revealed by the Secretary General of the National Council for Human Rights (CNDH), Driss El Yazami and relayed by Alyaoum 24.
According to said source, the decision was taken unanimously last week by the Board of Appeal after considering the vulnerability of the aforementioned category of immigrants.
Moreover, the source goes on to say that once regularized, those parents and their children will receive health insurance and medical assistance through the state established healthcare program for disadvantaged people, which is referred to as RAMED.
