Working teams representing the Foundation's various partners are working, throughout the day, to receiving, sorting and preparing shipments of in-kind aid destined for the affected regions, including those provided by citizens and civil society players from all Morocco's regions.

The creation of this new depot is part of the efforts made by the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity to support the populations of the affected villages, in application of the High Instructions of HM King Mohammed VI.

Immediately after the earthquake, the Foundation mobilized its various components to ensure that aid, particularly in-kind aid, was delivered and distributed under the right conditions, quickly and efficiently to meet the needs.

"Aid is transported from central warehouses to local warehouses," explained Souad Boulouiz, Project Manager at the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, noting that two depots had been set up in the Marrakech-Safi region, precisely in Tahanaout and Chichaoua, from where it is transported directly to the affected douars (small villages).

The aid is distributed by land to accessible douars, or thanks to the efficient and urgent intervention of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) and the Royal Gendarmerie by helicopter, which deliver the aid to the population throughout the day, Boulouiz told MAP.

Highly commending the great outpouring of solidarity from the various components of Moroccan society towards the earthquake victims, Boulouiz stressed that the Foundation is working tirelessly, in close coordination and partnership with the services of the Interior Ministry, the FAR, the Gendarmerie Royale, the Protection Civile and the local authorities, to provide for the needs of the affected populations.
