The earthquake occurred in Morocco two months ago, and 3 thousand people lost their lives. It was a catastrophe. The Church has issued a call for help for the devastated areas.
With this catastrophic situation, many individuals, especially children and women, have become extremely vulnerable as they lost their parents and loved ones. The survivors are so traumatized and vulnerable that they have lost their homes and possessions. The sisters and other Catholic associations are consistently on the ground, working tirelessly.

Sister Maria Trinidad Gonzalez Gonzalez, Daughter of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, a social worker and doctor, tells us about the Church's commitment to the people affected by the natural disaster: "Since the beginning of the earthquake, with the epicenter located in the High Atlas chain, about 72 km southwest of Marrakech, and its impact felt everywhere, reaching Casablanca in the northern part of the country, the Daughters of Charity, in response to a call from the Church of Marrakech, collaborate in ecclesial service.

Every morning, we prepare materials to distribute, mainly non-perishable food, and we travel by car more than 50 km from the beautiful city of Marrakech to visit families, learning more about their concerns and worries about what they are going through. At times, we have had to take care of women who have just given birth or individuals who underwent surgery after the earthquake, monitoring and caring for the elderly. We are aware that there is a response to the needs of the population from the Moroccan government in terms of infrastructure, healthcare, etc., but the devastating situation caused by the earthquake will take time to resolve. That is why families are patiently awaiting the reconstruction of their homes and a return to normalcy, facing personal losses with faith and resilience."
