Morocco Earthquake Emergency Appeal

MOROCCO EARTHQUAKE EMERGENCY APPEAL

Action For Humanity has launched a £5 million appeal in response to the recent earthquake in Morocco. This initiative aims to provide immediate assistance, support the recovery and reconstruction of affected areas, and alleviate the suffering of earthquake survivors.

Following one of the most powerful earthquakes in recent years, which struck at 11:11 pm on September 8th, the death toll has already reached a grim figure of at least 1,037 people (in 18 hours), with the potential for this number to increase as days pass. Thousands have also been injured.

Action for Humanity has mobilized a specialized emergency response team to provide immediate aid in Marrakech and surrounding affected areas. They will offer real-time updates on the situation from the ground, ensuring transparency on how your donations are directly saving lives.

Morocco Emergency Response

The Phase 1 response to the disaster is focused on providing food, shelter and blankets as well as removing the rubble to continue searching for people. It has been found that many people are also in urgent need of electricity and psychosocial support from the earthquake.

The AFH team have secured approval from the Morocco Ministry of Interior and have submitted all required documentation to the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). Our team are currently handling the implementation directly with support of local associations. Our ongoing efforts are focused on conducting assessments and providing aid in the Al Haouz area, where the earthquake's impact has been most significant.

AFH emergency response team have begun the procurement process with local suppliers, following our initial assessment in coordination with local communities. AFH plans to distribute 200 food parcels per day, 300 hygiene kits and 300 blankets today and tomorrow (11/09, 12/09).
