We are deeply saddened by the tragedy that has befallen our Moroccan brothers and sisters and strong members of the AAYC.
A magnitude Earthquake of 6.8 hit the High Atlas Mountains about 45 miles southwest of the city of Marrakech killing up to 2000 people by today.
We stand in solidarity with the Moroccan people, the leadership and the kingdom in this trying moment. Our condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones, we pray for strength and quick recovery from this catastrophe.
In order to beef up the current efforts, we call upon emergency response teams like Red Cross, UN Development Programme (UNDP), African Union, and United Nations among others to support the national efforts for rescue and relief, and to work with affected communities to cope with this tragedy and build forward.
