Summary

A devastating magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck Morocco on the night of 8 September local time, with a death toll of more than 3,000. This is the largest earthquake to hit Morocco in 60 years, since 1960, so it is time for a rapid response. The aim of the project is to help the victims of the Moroccan earthquake recover from the earthquake damage as quickly as possible and return to their daily lives.

Challenge

The death toll from the 6.8 magnitude earthquake in Morocco has exceeded 3,000, with more than 5,000 injured. As the earthquake is considered to be the strongest in the last 60 years, the number of victims of the earthquake is enormous. It is expected that the number of victims will continue to rise. They are suffering secondary damage, and even the places where survivors are staying are crumbling. As aftershocks continue, the possibility of further damage is also being discussed.

Solution

We have decided to send an emergency rescue team to the site in Morocco to provide immediate assistance. Once on site, the relief team will conduct an assessment and determine what type of assistance is needed at the earthquake site. Based on the assessment, we will quickly distribute essential items to victims, including food, water, medicine, sanitation, and shelter. This will certainly be of help to the Moroccan people who have lost everything, including their homes.

Long-Term Impact

Our plan is to provide goods and medical aid to the quake-affected areas, which have relatively few resources. This will include not only the central area but also all the affected regions. Many survivors are expected to suffer trauma, including physical shock. Emergency relief is not just about distributing goods. Psychological support is also very important. That is why we are planning to provide psychological support for the victims at the same time.
