Volunteers recover a body from the rubble of collapsed houses in the village of Imi N'Tala near Amizmiz in central Morocco after the deadly 6.8-magnitude September 8 earthquake, on September 10, 2023. - AFPPIX: Ordinary citizens are stepping in to do their bit for victims of the deadly earthquake in Morocco, after some complained that the authorities were slow to act.
The quake killed at least 2,122 people, injured more than 2,400 others, and flattened entire villages. One of them, Mohammed, who asked that his last name not be used, lost his 16-year-old daughter in the tragedy. Forty-eight hours after the earth shook, the villagers were spending their third night put in the open.“We’re sleeping on the ground in the cold. Adults can cope with this, but not the children.”
“Everyone must mobilise,“ the 65-year-old said. “And that includes the authorities, but they seem to be absent.” “We lived through this in 2004, so it’s completely normal that we step in to help,“ Said Ouael El-Haj from Beni Bouayach in Al-Hoceima province told AFP.“It’s the first aid we’ve received since the earthquake,“ said Mohamed Bakka, 65, from Sour Tahannaout.
