Morocco earthquake
 

Looks like it was a big one for Morocco standards

I have to go to japan a lot this 2nd half of the year. This scares me.

Yes CNN HD USA on UK TV
says 300 dead

Terrible massive deaths

Now over 600 have died

Omg how awful :sad:

indeed very awful

632 to be precise right now the death count so far


a earthquake of this magnitude, last time it happened in north africa, was in Algeria, claimed the lives of more than 2.500 people back then



---------
EU is going to send help to Morocco, first rescue workers and afterwards also helping to rebuild survivors their homes

Holidays now on hold

Death Total Well over 800 now
sadly

Both times I went to Morocco the local treated me disgustingly. I have never met such devious people.

Deaths now reach over 1,000
sadly dead

Over 2,000 now dead.

Many Homes built with Mud
have stood, for a long time
but no way in a deadly Earthquake

SkyNewsHD has their reporter there.

Sadly, Tourists could be among the dead.

oh no this is sad.

Japan buildings are very strong and built to survive an earthquake.
Marocco houses are not as strong at all.

Yeah but Japan gets proper earthquakes

Parents are set to go here in 2 weeks. Doubtful they'll be going.

So sad.

yes, remember the Kobe earthquake disaster anyone?


even there lots of deaths, despite very strong houses


i remember that well as i've seen that one featured on Seconds from Disaster

Lucky escape. It’s such a horrible place full of horrible people.

Yes and the tsunamis. I need danger money tbh

not bad policies by moroccan government i think

not making it too chaotic with help coming in from too many countries but more controlled emergency help


Netherlands government are sending Morocco 5 million to restore buildings, for medicine, food, water however we are waiting doing a national tv broadcast asking public to donate money until we have the green light by Morocco to actually send help

Yes Good Move
Reports on SkyNewsHD
the French are not as friendly, yet.

Macron offered help too?

they are also waiting for Morocco to give them the green light either

Over 2,400 Dead now
