Earthquake in Morocco – Two years since the catastrophe
On September 8, 2023, a devastating earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 on the Richter scale struck Morocco. The epicentre was located approximately 70 kilometres southwest of Marrakesh. The disaster claimed nearly 3,000 lives and affected up to 300,000 people, one third of whom were children. Around 50,000 homes were either partially or completely destroyed. Two years later, we commemorate not only the victims of the earthquake but also the assistance provided by Caritas Czech Republic.
