On Friday 8th September 2023 an earthquake of 6.8 magnitude struck the south of Marrakech and nearby areas in Morocco, claiming the lives of over 2,500 people and injuring more than 2,059. Six months on and due to the scale of destruction, the recovery process is ongoing with survivors in desperate need of your help.
Together, this Ramadan we can save Morocco.
The 2023 earthquake in Morocco is one of the worst earthquakes to hit the country in 63 years. Thousands were killed instantly as buildings tumbled, burying them in the ruins. Many more were injured, unable to access an already struggling healthcare system and left traumatised by the chaos. Major destruction was widespread with schools, homes and roads gone in minutes.
“The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity” (Tirmidhi).
