The 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 are immediately on the ground, in close coordination with local authorities, to’ assess the situation and provide assistance to those affected.

The French Red Cross is quick to mobilize in response to the crisis. On September 9, 2023, a call for donations is launched with the aim of contributing, as part of the response of the CRCR Movement, to the relief actions on the spot, and to supply basic necessities.

The CRf organizes an exploratory mission to meet the Moroccan Red Crescent (CRM)) to support the’ emergency response to the earthquake. After identifying the needs not covered and defining the modalities of cooperation, the French Red Cross opens a delegation on site to support the Moroccan Red Crescent.
