Miles of Moroccans They resign themselves to living in tents after the earthquake that last Friday, September 8, at night shook several provinces in the south of the country and claimed the lives of almost 3,000 peoplewith the fear that winter will soon arrive and the hope of recovering their homes as soon as possible.
Starting from Amizmiz, one of the gates of the High Atlas, and heading south, the squares of towns and villages, the empty slopes, the meadows adjacent to towns and neighborhoods, even the spaces stolen from the empty sides of the roads, are have become improvised accommodation in which thousands of tents are erected.
Aid continues to come from Spain to Morocco
The professionals of the Provincial Consortium of Firefighters (CPB) de Málaga displaced to the area of Morocco affected by the devastating earthquake have regretted that they have not rescued any people alive and have described the scenery of this catastrophe “painful”.
María García, one of the six CPB firefighters, told journalists that now, as “adverse weather” begins, efforts “should focus on providing shelter” to people who have lost their homes and on “control of minors”.
Meanwhile, in the capital of the Costa del Sol there are already five vans prepared with 6,000 kilos of material that will reach the most affected areas of the Atlas. In addition to the deaths, this natural disaster left more than 5,000 injured.
The acting Spanish Minister of Defense, Margaret Robleshas assured that the troops and means of the Military Emergency Unit (UME) deployed in the North African country will continue there for the period that is “necessary.”
After a visit to the Tercio de la Armada in San Fernando (Cádiz), the minister explained that “it seems very difficult” since it is possible to rescue more affected people alive, but the UME continues on the ground “giving support for the population“which is in tremendously complicated conditions and, furthermore, “the rains are about to arrive.”
Robles has shown his “pride” in the work of the UME and has said that they will be in Morocco “for as long as they demand of us.” The priority is to install schools, water and electricity for the victims.
