Under the instructions of the ministry, the same sources confirmed that the Consulate General has, in turn, created a crisis cell to follow up on the situation of the Moroccan community residing in the affected area, where two phone numbers were made available to report potential victims of this tragedy or missing persons, and all cases that require the intervention of consular services are 0034.631.935.818 and 0034.631.711.873.
