In the wake of the devastating earthquake that struck Morocco on Friday, September 8th, 2023, over 2000+ lives have been lost, and thousands more injured.

This natural disaster has left countless families in despair and in dire need of life-saving humanitarian assistance.

The quake, measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale, is the worst in over a century.

Its epicentre was in the heart of Morocco, affecting not only the city of Marrakech but also Ighil, a rural commune in the mountainous Al-Haouz province within the Atlas Mountains.

The earthquake’s impact was widespread, with tremors felt throughout the country, including in the provinces of Ouarzazate, Azilal, Chichaoua, Taroudant, and reaching as far as Spain and Portugal.

Muslim Relief, in collaboration with local partners on the ground, has launched an immediate response to this catastrophe.

Our teams are working around the clock to assess the situation, produce actionable plans, and extend a helping hand to the affected communities. However, this can only be possible with your kind support.

Many of the victims requiring urgent humanitarian assistance reside in remote mountainous regions, making access to lifesaving aid incredibly challenging.

These areas have been drastically affected, leaving families without basic necessities like food, water, and medical aid.

Many more will have no option but to spend sleepless nights out in the open with no roof over their heads.

The scale of this disaster has created a dire humanitarian crisis. With mountain roads blocked by debris, emergency services struggling, and the death toll rising.

Countless families are left with nothing, and the survivors are burdened with grief and trauma.

Now, more than ever, we appeal to your generous hearts. Your contributions, whether big or small, can bring hope and relief to those who have lost everything.

Together, we can provide vital necessities – food, water, shelter, and healthcare – to the survivors of this tragic event.

Please act now, be the answer to their prayers, and a ray of hope in these dark times.

Let us come together to restore lives, heal wounds, and rebuild communities. Let your compassion and generosity guide the way.
