Morocco: (2004-03-11) - As our workers
arrived in the area where the earthquake had occurred to unload a truck
of relief supplies that had just arrived, they were very much aware of
the devastation around them. They were also pleased by the fact that it
seems that many of the immediate needs have been met. There are still families
however who are without tents and are sleeping in makeshift shelters.
Our team have purchased and distributed
16 tents, organised and transported a truckload of needed items, which
was taken to the Red Crescent Base for distribution. A second shipment
of food and clothing will be sent soon.
Our team have also been in contact with various personnel to organise trauma counseling training. A worker from Operation Mercy Turkey, will be traveling to Morocco to carry out training and counselling in the area where the devastation occurred.
