Shortly before midnight on Friday, the strongest earthquake in over 100 years struck Morocco. Communities in the High Atlas Mountains and nearby areas are facing overwhelming loss of life with over 1,300 casualties and people in critical condition. A quick response is essential, and we are mobilizing for immediate community relief

.The news coming in from the mountain villages is truly heart-wrenching and catastrophic
Several villages have been completely devastated, while others have suffered immense losses in terms of both homes and lives. It’s important to understand that even under normal circumstances, these villages are incredibly remote and challenging to access. Given the current situation, the plight of the survivors is even more dire.
Today, Maa wa Namaa team will leave at 12 towards Taroudant, with the intention to aid our brothers and sisters in the Adassil village where they have built a well earlier (bir al baraka in 2021), then Takouka village.
