We Help Thousands of Children to Get Their Best Life
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean.
A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.
Thousands in desperate need after deadly Morocco earthquake
Following the Morocco earthquake, we’ve launched an emergency appeal to help support people affected.
On Friday 8 September, 11pm local time, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck Morocco. The epicentre was in the High Atlas Mountains, approximately 70 kilometres south of Marrakesh. A 4.9 magnitude aftershock followed just 20 minutes later.
Local authorities are reporting that more than 2,900 people have died, with many more critically injured. The total number of people affected is in the hundreds of thousands.
Many of the worst affected areas are remote and mountainous, and the impact of the earthquake has made them even harder to reach.
How is the Red Cross helping people affected by the earthquake?
Local Moroccan Red Crescent teams were on the ground immediately responding to the earthquake. They are supporting authorities with:
- search and rescue
- provision of water, food, shelter and hygiene kits
- evacuation
- first aid
- psychosocial support
As the situation develops, our teams will continue to help with the severe and immediate needs of those affected, as well as planning the longer-term support that will be needed in the weeks and months to come.
How can you help people in Morocco?
The best way to help us reach those affected is by donating to our Morocco Earthquake appeal today – if you can.
In the meantime, we’ll continue to update this page with more information from local teams on the ground about what’s happening and how your support will help people.
