In the aftermath of a devastating earthquake that struck Morocco on Friday night, all Israelis residing in the country, initially unreachable, have been successfully contacted and confirmed to be safe and unharmed, baruch Hashem.
This seismic catastrophe has already claimed over 2,000 lives, with the grim expectation that this number may continue to rise as rescue efforts face considerable challenges in reaching remote, severely impacted regions. Measuring a magnitude of 6.8, this earthquake stands as the most powerful to have struck the North African nation in 120 years, sending waves of fear and disbelief through the populace as it rocked their homes late into the evening.
In response to this tragedy, Israel has mobilized a relief mission, comprised of IDF personnel, officials from the Health Ministry, and medics from the Magen David Adom rescue service. This humanitarian initiative is set to arrive in Morocco later Sunday, lending a helping hand to those in desperate need. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, extending his condolences to the people of Morocco, stated, “I pray for them and vow to help as much as needed,” adding that he has instructed government agencies to collaborate with their Moroccan counterparts in this trying time.
As the Israeli relief mission arrives and the international community rallies to support Morocco in its time of need, there is hope that unity and resilience will guide the recovery efforts in the wake of this devastating disaster.
