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

The Online Only Paper

[Nicky91]

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
