Morocco Earthquake Appeal

More than 3,000 people were killed and thousands more are injured, and in need of humanitarian aid, since a powerful earthquake struck Morocco on Friday 8 September.

With a magnitude of 6.8, the earthquake’s epicentre was in the High Atlas mountains, around 72km south-west of Marrakech. It destroyed buildings, infrastructure and roads, making rescue efforts very challenging. Many thousands of people have lost their homes and loved-ones. 

Women and girls are especially vulnerable since the earthquake struck, living in exposed spaces without either security or protection. They urgently need safe shelter, particularly with winter coming.

ActionAid is working with our partner organisations in Morocco to distribute essential supplies in some of the hardest-to-reach mountain villages, including food, water, clothes and toiletry kits for families.

We urgently need to reach more people. Please donate today.
