Approximately 25,000 families in Al Haouz have benefited from a first aid installment payment of 20,000 Moroccan dirhams, along with 26,500 families receiving a monthly assistance of 2,500 dirhams. Additionally, up to 262,723 food baskets have been provided to earthquake victims during the post-disaster period.

Sources from the province’s administration explained to Hespress that special attention has been given to affected communities during Ramadan. As of Wednesday, 43,074 food baskets have been distributed to support earthquake victims, with the distribution continuing throughout the holy month.

The same sources noted that regional authorities have worked to expedite the demolition and removal of collapsed or uninhabitable buildings.

A significant portion of the administrative procedures related to the rebuilding process has been completed, despite accessibility difficulties and the vastness of the province.

The same source said 8,084 buildings have been completed, with over 21,000 permits issued. Reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts for damaged buildings, under the supervision of regional authorities, are ongoing, with approximately 7,000 buildings currently undergoing reconstruction and rehabilitation.
