A magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck the Al-Haouz province of Morocco at around 11pm on Friday 8th September. Surprised in the middle of the night, many residents left their homes in a hurry to seek shelter in case their buildings collapsed.

The latest news is that more than 2,500 people have been killed and more than 2,500 injured, most of them in the provinces of Al-Haouz and Taroudant, with hundreds of buildings destroyed and the population in a state of shock.

HI, which has been present in Morocco since 1993 and maintains close relations with our partners on the ground, is expressing its full support and solidarity with the Moroccan people in the face of the scale of the disaster.

We have confirmed that all HI teams are safe and sound. We will remain attentive to developments in the situation and will continue to work alongside our Moroccan partners to intervene if necessary.
