Christians from around the world are on the ground bringing urgent relief in Morocco, following the huge earthquake there. The epicentre of the quake was in the Atlas Mountains, about 40 miles southwest of the busy tourist city of Marrakech. Thousands are dead and injured.
A representative of the Bible Society in Morocco said: ‘Your prayers and concern mean a lot to us here in Morocco … I am in the affected area, working alongside teams from different churches. We are delivering food supplies to believers and their families, and we are also assessing the needs for the near future.’
Andrés Prins, a Christian living in Morocco, told Spanish news website Protestante Digital. ‘Many old houses in Marrakech and especially in the villages in the Atlas Mountains have suffered significant damage. We were 64 kilometres southeast of Marrakesh visiting acquaintances with Christian friends who had come from Rabat,’ said Andrés. ‘We saw some of the devastation and we now plan to bring humanitarian aid together with other local Christians.’
