Large-scale sterilization and desinfection operation begins in the quake-affected regions

The Moroccan Royal Armed Forces have embarked since Sunday 17th large-scale sterilization and disinfection operations in several distressed villages in the aftermath of the harrowing earthquake that struck the region of Al-Haouz on Friday 8 with a magnitude of 7, causing deaths and injuries in the area as well as serious material damage, according to Hespress Ar.

A dedicated team of experts in veterinary medicine from the Second Battalion responsible for health mobilization of the Royal Armed Forces, accompanied by a specialized veterinarian, together initiated the sanitation and disinfection operation in Assayss and Ait Ibourk, which fall under the Tizi N’Test region in Taroudant province.

The teams have utilized a range of antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and disinfectant products based on lime chloride to sanitize and disinfect the quake-affected areas.

Sources to Hespress Ar revealed that the extensive operations encompassed not only buildings with unpleasant smells but also buried animal carcasses and livestock resulting from the destructive tremors of the earthquake.

The Royal Armed Forces worked tirelessly to extract not only humans trapped under the debris of crumbled buildings but also animals devastated by the earthquake. The rescue and evacuation efforts encompassed livestock, cattle, cows, and even pets in the affected regions.

The evacuation efforts also included humans, both dead and wounded, providing swift urgent aid to the affected communities in the aftermath of the tragic earthquake.

It has been 11 days since the earthquake hit and the unwavering commitment of the Moroccan authorities as well as their tireless evacuation efforts persist.

The strong collaboration among various authorities in addressing this tragic event is commendable. All concerned parties work tirelessly to help the evacuation efforts and contain the crisis.
