This is the strongest earthquake #Morocco has seen in a century, impacting an estimated 380,000 people. The numbers are staggering: over 2,500 casualties, thousands injured, and widespread structural damage, especially in the al-Haouz municipality. Many survivors are still trapped under rubble, desperately awaiting rescue. Morocco is reeling from aftershocks, which are expected to continue for weeks, if not months.

How is IDRF helping?

1️⃣ Emergency Shelters: Tents and shelters are urgently needed for those who have lost their homes.

2️⃣ Healthcare: With a high number of casualties, medical facilities and supplies are in dire demand to prevent further suffering.

3️⃣ Food & Water: Ready-made meals and clean drinking water are vital for the survival of affected communities.

4️⃣ Hygiene: Hygiene kits are crucial to prevent diseases and maintain sanitation in these difficult conditions.

5️⃣ Lighting: Access to lighting can enhance safety, especially during this crisis.

🤝 IDRF is collaborating with partners such as IBC, Global Medic, and the Al Amal Volunteer group to provide aid to those in need. Our efforts include distributing essential supplies like food parcels, hygiene packages, baby kits, tents, blankets, medical kits, and flashlights in Chichaoua.
