Morocco accepts the aid with reservations

After the catastrophic earthquake in Morocco, this country first wants to accept aid from four countries. Germany is not among them. Morocco declared three days of national mourning.

The Ministry of the Interior of Morocco announced that "we have reacted to the offer of support from friendly countries, Spain, Qatar, Great Britain and the United Emirates" and thanks all the countries that have provided assistance after the severe earthquake on Saturday in Morocco . The Moroccan authorities state that "a careful assessment of the need on the ground has been made". "If that need changes," other offers will be considered.

The German Technical Assistance Organization, THW, sent its workers home in advance. They stood ready at the Köln/Bonn airport for the mission in Morocco.

Helpers continue to search intensively for the injured under the rubble, sometimes just by hand. Experts talk about a space of 72 hours to find alive those covered by the rubble. That's how long someone can last without water, according to a guideline.

According to official data, more than 2,100 people lost their lives after the earthquake in Morocco, and at least 2,400 people were injured. It is expected that the number of victims will increase. According to the World Health Organization, more than 300,000 people have been affected by the consequences of the earthquake in Marrakesh and the surrounding areas.

King Mohammed VI declared three days of national mourning. The 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Saturday night in the Atlas Mountains, 70 km south of Marrakesh. Since then there have been many small aftershocks./ DW
