MOROCCO: THE PAIN OF A PEOPLE
You can't fight nature. Nature imposes its own laws and you have to accept them with resignation. Morocco has suffered one of the worst earthquakes, probably the worst of all, that have occurred in its territory. Until now it was remembered the quem took place in Agadir, 63 years ago (February 29, 1960), which claimed 12,000 victims.
The latest census of the one that took place last Friday in Marrakech amounts to more than 2,000 people dead and a similar number of injured, many of them seriously.
The fragile houses in the area affected by the earthquake could not withstand the violence of the shock and collapsed without time for their inhabitants to be saved. In this region, where thousands of families with few resources live, there are no anti-seismic buildings. For this reason the damage balances are enormous.
The successive shock waves that occur after the main earthquake (some approaching intensity 5 on the Richter scale) also produce terrifying reactions among the inhabitants.
Now it is necessary that, in addition to the measures taken at the initiative of the King, Mohamed VI, to relieve those who have lost everything, help comes from the countries that want to cooperate in the task of providing humanitarian consolation by sending the most necessary material , food and medicine and other health aspects.
