Monday 18 September 2023 - 21:15

The operation to register the inhabitants of damaged buildings in the province of Al Haouz during the earthquake that struck several regions of Morocco started on Monday in the various communes and localities affected.

Ad hoc committees have been set up in the communes hit by the earthquake to take a census of the households concerned, as part of activating the emergency program to rehouse disaster victims and care for the categories most affected by the Al Haouz earthquake.

This program, which was the subject of Royal Instructions during the working session chaired by the Sovereign on September 9, 2023, follows on from the succession of measures ordered by the Sovereign, aimed at mobilizing all resources, with the necessary speed and efficiency, to come to the aid of stricken families and citizens, and in particular to deploy rehabilitation and reconstruction actions as quickly as possible, in the localities affected by this natural disaster.

This operation, which will last 12 days, aims to identify partially or totally damaged homes in this commune, which has 17,000 inhabitants spread over 3,500 families and 5,000 houses.

The first version of the rehousing program presented to the Sovereign, and which was prepared by the inter-ministerial commission set up on High Royal Instructions, covers some 50,000 totally or partially collapsed homes in the five provinces affected.
