After the Al Haouz earthquake: solidarity with the Atlas villages

First published on Instagram on 19 September 2023 · Stella-Gallery Journal
We have not been much online, concentrating our energy helping local associations to help the villages in the Atlas mountains which were most affected by the recent earthquake. Like many of you, we were deeply saddened by the destruction and losses and we would like to thank you for all your messages of support.
We have witnessed a wonderful, unique sense of solidarity among all population in Marrakech and thanks to many NGOs, local associations and the Moroccan Army Aid, most of the villages have now been reached. The challenge is now to help rebuild the villages, especially as winter is nearing and efforts and donation must continue !
The city of Marrakech has not suffered major damages and we are pleased to see the infrastructures of the city fully operational one week after the earthquake. All shops, restaurants, hotels, riads are open. The heart of Marrakech beats stronger than ever to welcome you !
And you can support the city by coming to visit.
The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have confirmed to maintain their Annual General Meetings in Marrakech as scheduled between October 9th and 15th. These are all very good news we wanted to share with you.
Best wishes to all
