On the night of September 8th, a devastating earthquake struck Morocco, causing a tragic loss of life. The disaster unfolded shortly after 11 PM local time, resulting in a death toll that has now exceeded 2,000 people, with over 2,000 more individuals suffering injuries. This earthquake, measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale, originated in the High Atlas Mountains, approximately 72 kilometers southwest of Morocco.
This powerful natural disaster had far-reaching consequences, leading to the destruction of numerous buildings and essential infrastructure. As a distressing aftermath of this earthquake, thousands of people have found themselves without shelter, facing homelessness. In response to this dire situation, it is crucial to extend a helping hand to the victims of the Morocco earthquake. By contributing to the Morocco Earthquake Relief, together we can make a meaningful impact by providing emergency aid to those affected by this devastating disaster.
Mufti Abdul Wahab’s September Visit to Earthquake Affected Areas
Chairman Al-Wahab Foundation, Mufti Abdul Wahab visited the earthquake-affected areas of Morocco along with his team to provide relief to victims. It was an overall challenging phase yet our team managed to be there to help those in need.
During the visit, Mufti Abdul Wahab observed that the aid hasn’t been reaching distant villages where people have gone homeless and are living through miserable conditions without any assistance. Team Al-Wahab Foundation made arrangements to travel to those villages to help the Morocco earthquake victims through our Morocco Earthquake Relief initiative.
The destructed infrastructure and displaced families living in camps presented a whole gloomy picture which was something so heart-breaking to see for Mufti Abdul Wahab and his team.
While using all the resources to support the earthquake victims, team AWF made arrangements for the distribution of food packs and medical aid. The food packs contained all basic necessities including cereal, flour, oil, sugar, tea, and other essential items to serve the needs of a family of six.
“The situation is so miserable and there are so many families still waiting for aid in the earthquake-affected areas. I am thankful to those who supported and request everyone to contribute as much as possible towards Morocco Earthquake Appeal so that AWF can provide them with emergency assistance.” ― Chairman AWF Mufti Abdul Wahab
