Moroccan earthquake, and Cristiano Ronaldo is providing shelter And Others:- State TV announced that 2,122 persons have been confirmed dead and 2,421 injured as a result of the earthquake that shook Morocco on Friday. The earthquake that struck Morocco more than a century ago had a magnitude of 6.8.
As news of the collapse of a historically significant mosque from the 12th century spread locally, it became clearer how much damage had been done to Morocco’s cultural legacy. A portion of Marrakech’s Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was also destroyed by the earthquake.
Morocco has stated that it may accept aid offers from other nations and that, if necessary, it will strive to organize them.
The survivors struggle to find refuge, food, and water.
As the search for the missing proceeded in isolated towns on Sunday, survivors of Morocco’s deadliest earthquake in more than 60 years struggled to find food, water, and shelter. The death toll of more than 2,100 was set to increase further.
Following the 6.8 magnitude earthquake that occurred late on Friday, many individuals spent a third night outdoors. Reaching the worst-affected villages in the High Atlas, a rough mountain terrain where populations are sometimes inaccessible and many homes are in disrepair, is a problem for relief personnel.
To aid in the rescue and relief operations, the government has declared a state of emergency in the affected districts and sent out thousands of military and police.
Cristiano Ronaldo gives survivors a place to stay
Cristiano Ronaldo, a Portuguese football player, has given his Marrakech hotel as a place for earthquake survivors to stay.
On the outskirts of the city, there is a 174-room hotel called the Pestana CR7 Marrakech. According to reports, the hotel is giving earthquake victims food, drink, and shelter.
Not just Ronaldo but others have also offered their help. In addition, several organizations and companies with a presence in Marrakech have committed their support.
In Morocco, the earthquake has wreaked enormous havoc. As rescuers look for survivors, the death toll is anticipated to increase.
A large portion of Morocco and Algeria felt the earthquake. Additionally, Portugal and Spain were intended to host it.
