The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) pledged to provide Morocco with up to one million dollars as humanitarian aid to help people in the affected regions by the devastating earthquake that hit on Friday evening, according to Samantha Power on X.
The tragedy caused severe damage to the villagess close to the epicenter and claimed the lives of more than 2000 so far. In response to the destructive event, the US agency promised to provide assistance and support to earthquake victims in the area.
“After the devastating earthquake in Morocco, the US is helping to support the Morocco-led response. @USAID is providing up to $1M in initial humanitarian assistance to support ppl in the most affected areas.”
USAID expressed its unwavering solidarity and readiness in assisting Morocco in its recovery efforts in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake.
Power on X continued that USAID “stands ready to provide further support if requested.”
Power already expressed her sincere condolences to the victims on Saturday and revealed that USAID was in close contact with Moroccan officials.
In a swift response to the seismic event, USAID announced on Saturday on X that the agency sent a small team of disaster experts to assess the situation, identify unmet humanitarian needs, and work with the Moroccan government in regard to the potential for additional aid.
