Working environment:
On September 8, 2023, an earthquake shook Morocco, causing nearly 3,000 deaths and 6,000 injuries. The Moroccan Red Crescent and the CR/CR Movement immediately went to the field, in close coordination with local authorities, to assess the situation and provide assistance to those affected.
The French Red Cross (CRF) was quick to mobilize in response to the crisis and launched, on September 9, 2023, an appeal for donations to contribute to relief efforts on the ground, and to provide basic necessities as part of the CRCR Movement’s response.
The CRF is organizing an exploratory mission to meet with the Moroccan Red Crescent (MRC) to support the emergency response to the earthquake. After identifying unmet needs and defining cooperation modalities, the French Red Cross is opening a delegation on site to support the Moroccan Red Crescent.
