Morocco has not formally requested aid, while many countries offered it here in Europe.
That’s arrogance or incompetence and the people of Morocco will suffer from that decision.
We here in Belgium got the money and rescue teams ready to go since yesterday. Sorry for your loss.
Our brothers came to us from alderia tunisie Senegalais Muslim. Your aid will not be free. Your country is so dirty and have evil plans however they give you help or something. I don’t have nothing with you as an individual who wants good but I have for your country.
@Mr. V
@Mr. V there you go. France just announced a team of rescuers has already reached marrakesh today morning, Qatar also announced their team has already landed and about to be dispatched.
Stop believing misinformation and accusing people.
I apologize for the delay on behalf of the entire Moroccan people. Unfortunately, the majority of the victims live in mountainous areas, which are very difficult to reach for a comprehensive assessment and to understand the number of dead and injured, and what is needed.
Building towns and villages on mountains 🤦♂️……most of those buildings were centuries old can’t say I’m surprised by the response of the Morroco government
@BT7274 They accepted help from 4 countries: Spain, UK, UAE and Qatar.
This is total slap in the face of the victims.
Our Belgian B-Fast team isn’t even allowed to help. Bureaucracy seems more important than immediate help.
Speak bad about india and other religions this is what happens
talking bad about India? do you even know how far apart we are? we have nothing in common we barely even hear the name india let alone talking bad about it,
In India 2000 people die daily coz of some accidents, there is no value of life in India. Especially poor people like you die in Train crashes, Riots all the time. Dont talk big, I know everything that happens in riot torn India. Look in the mirror first. thousands died in covid, many dead bodies were thrown in ganga river in India, many didnt receive last rites. You want to hear more ?
Why do Indians feel the need to involve themselves when the subject is clearly so far apart from them and nobody gives them even a second thought, clearly very delusional embarrassingly narcissitic behavior. I guarantee you the only time anybody thinks of India is when some Indian creep slides into some poor woman’s dm and make her feel glad she wasn’t born in that dirty hellhole.
i don’t understand why you hindus think we are obsessed with you guys. like you ain’t the main character
@Mehreeb Dar
Ask that to the construction workers and governments of Turkey,Syria,Egypt……OOOOOOH and now Morocco…..don’t worry BILLIONS 💵 💵 in aid from “kafir” countries EU 🇪🇺 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 will help PAY for GOOD QUALITY CONSTRUCTION
Meanwhile Arabs countries too busy hating on each other
Indian people with you,
God bless. Jesús come soon.matew 24 earthquake near end.
Acc to sanatan dharm
Kalki come at the end of kalyug
😢😢😢😢😢🌹🌹
jesus christ is the way the truth and life follow him and believe on him before its too late
No we follow GOD of Jesus son of mary
@Nafs – نفس did you follow jesus god says love your neighbhor as you love yourself?? Did you not curse jews and christians?? Your neigbhors
Amen
GOD Almighty didn’t say that. You worship Jesus peace be upon him and Holy spirit (Gabriel) peace be upon him and GOD. We worship only GOD. Jesus is a messenger and slave of GOD he was sent to his people some believe in him and other disbelief and try to kill him. In your narration he was crusified But in reality, he was not crucified. Rather, he was likened to Jesus, peace be upon him, and Jesus, peace be upon him, was exalted by God and will descend at the end of time to kill the Antichrist, break the cross, and rule on earth with justice. Did you know that you can become a Muslim? You are welcome 😁
@aeris scallon
😭
Pray 🙏🏻 just 🙏🏻 😢
So much unfortunate event for the good people of Morocco 🇲🇦, those who lost their families and their loved ones, may Allah give them hearts to cope with it and brought them peace, those who died may their souls rest in peace
Where is allah 😂😂😂
I think sleeping yet 😡
Allah fault
@Kaushal Kumar Vashisht We do not know what exactly Allah looks like. However, we do know that he has hands and can speak. But it’s not gonna be like normal humans hands. This is the LORD we’re talking about. We can’t even imagine what he looks like with our human brain.
@Ayshaaa by the way iam hindu
From india 🙏
@Kaushal Kumar Vashisht I figured that. lol
@Ayshaaa you are from which country ?
@Kaushal Kumar Vashisht My home country is Bahrain.
If not out of empathy, out of respect leave all religious and political speculations and debates out of this. We are humans, we know nothing about the end of the world, this is a devastating natural disaster, thousands are dead, thousands are homeless, the least you can do is show respect by staying silent, no more stupid comments.
Yes, thank u from M.
Allahu Akbar
الله أكبر
We can’t imagine how people are living in fear?
May Almighty God please protect everyone. 🙏
😭😭 ameen thanks , 🇲🇦
Ameeeeen
Have mercy on them Lord..in Jesus name…🙏
Lord is the father not jesus is a prophet
May allah grant the dead Janah and the wounded shifa insha allah
Do u still belive in god
Why not???
Don’t blame GOD, he does not cause this. It’s our own KARMA.
You know that too many people come to the mosque to pray for the martyrs who died. This just notifies us that we are weak and we should repent.
And GOD Almighty who made the earthquake.
@KT Ng if god really exist why didnt he save these people who died .did they not worshiping god
What is the depth of the quake? 6,8 ,should not destroy that many building if it’s deep. In my country indonesia 6,3 earthquake happened yesterday but it’s deep,so only causing minor destruction,no casualty,no potential tsunami.
@ines I read an article said the buildings are too old. Also morocco not used to earthquake.
@Muhammad Hanifagree but they didn’t cover depth of earthquake
@Muhammad Hanif The problem is that the earthquake hit the “Medina,” which is the old city of Marrakech, a historic city with over 1000 years of history, with many historical buildings such as mosques and minarets; and this historic part of the city was the most affected.
The earthquake was 8km deep
@TimoAncient mountainous Areas, may Unfortunately crumble and fall ROCKS Are shaken, tremble come loose, no One would never think happen AsA Big TRAGEDY.MAY HELP COME FAST🤲🤲
PRAYERS LOVE TO ALL EFFECTED👐🙏👐🙌🙌👐❤️🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️🌹🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹🌹❤️❤❤🌹❤🇲🇦❤❤❤
Deeply sorry for your loses .God give you strength for all Moroccans.
May the families off Morocco find peace and May The Almighty give mercy to all.
Why this kind of earthquake happening at night, please investigate
Again Israel will pretend it cares like Turkey and Israel will be caught steeling again 😂😂😂
Low IQ detected 🦧
Astagfirullah ya raham ya rab
Why did they build so many building not earthquake-proof?
@wilaneimad5263 You make it sound bad that we have a history. People have such short memories and pretend like this wouldn’t happen in the West. Always the colonial kick when people are already down.
At least the government didn’t show up to cut of the water supply and prevent people from fleeing FIRE on an island
@Sparkle Motion I’m not trying to make it sound anything and I’m not doing any comparisons. If anything triggered your feelings know that it wasn’t intentional. I feel sorry for our people and victims. I’m blaming our government for neglecting those areas, building no infrastructure or whatsoever. No roads, no bridges, no small airport, no hospitals no schools…etc. Let’s say they wanna preserve the way of life and the esthetics of historical places, at least surround it with what I mentioned. I hope you got my point.
@wilane imad
You do know that everything would have been destroyed by the same earthquake? I am all about constructive criticism, but I am so sick and tired of everybody feeling comfortable to dump on Morocco and Moroccans. Including the Moroccans who use their self-hatred as an excuse not to do anything
As for the government like a wise man once said, ”Garbage in, garbage out”‘.
Moroccan and African traditional buildings have stood for centuries and are sustainable and the best protection against cold and heat.
What is classy when white people do it and trashy when Africans do it? Using local building materials
@Sparkle Motion I sense a lot of patriotism from your writing which honorable in the right circumstances but don’t let it blind you. You’re creating an enemy out of anybody who criticize morocco. I love m’y country and have no hatred towards it, but don’t tell me the government did a splendid job and couldn’t do anything better. Remember you must distinguish between loving your country, its people and the government. Last word “khouk Ana, ghir berred”
@wilane imad
Where did I praise the government? Look up George Carlin Garbage in Garbage out.
Deeply saddened by the aftermath of the earthquake. Sending sincere condolences to all affected in Morocco.🙏🙏
I believe people needed to be rescued. As long as everyone continues to lend a helping hand. If you can’t be there, praying, donating money or supplies all can help!
– “A person who has no faith in life is like a sailor who has fallen into the sea, and will sink in the sea until he perishes. During the 1989 earthquake in California, the father had only one thought: “My son is waiting for me.” He dug for 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, and no one came to stop him . His face was covered with dust, his eyes were bloodshot, his body was tattered, and blood was everywhere. At the 38th hour, he suddenly heard a child’s voice from the ground: “Dad, is that you?” Dad shouted : “Amand, my boy!”. This story shows that although miracles make us very lucky, the ability of faith will produce great power. People want to succeed in doing things, they must believe that they can succeed; Have the belief that “I will definitely be able to change my habits”, and learn to use the power of the mind to completely change myself. This is cultivating the mind.” – Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door Master Lu
R.I.P to all victims
I lived there in Marrakech and worked in a hotel there I am here in the Philippines now and I really wanted to go back there with my Godmother but couldn’t get a chance to fly back there now I understand why Thank you God I am safe here with my son. But deeply sorry for the people in Maroc Rip to all the victims to all the survivors pls hang in there. God will give you, us justice 🙏🙏🙏❤️
I really wish your government would stop being so slow and allow us to help you. We’ve been waiting since yesterday. I have no idea why they want to wait. We here in Belgium got the money and teams ready. They’re just waiting for a formal request of assistance.
i’m sorry 🙁

Undoubtedly the earthquakes that are happening these days are among the signs which Allah uses to frighten His slaves. All the earthquakes and other things which happen and cause harm and injury to people are because of shirk and sins, as Allah says (interpretation of the meanings):
“And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much”
[Surah al-Shura 42:30]
“Whatever of good reaches you, is from Allah, but whatever of evil befalls you, is from yourself”
[Surah al-Nisa 4:79]
All victims who lost their lives in the earthquake are destined Jannah because Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘The martyrs (Shuhadaa) are five (types). The one who dies in a plague, the one who dies due to a stomach related disease, the one who drowns, the one who dies as a result of a building (or structure) collapsing upon him and the martyr (Shaheed) in the path of Allah (Most High).’ (Sahih al-Bukhari, 2829).🙏🏼💙
My condolences 😔
So sorry for everyone. Rest in peace to those who died 💔
i pray for unity,the Cause and foundations of the earthquake is Italy and France Paris, America Napolitano,Napoli,Taranto,Torino,sardinia,Rome:;,,::;..,,,
My deepest condolences and sorrow for your loss from America and as a Christian person
It almost sounds something like what happened to Turkey and Syria in January of 2023? They actually know how it feels like.
😢😢😢😢😢😢

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’oon.
*Morocco🇲🇦 have border disputes with Western Sahara & Spain.*
make border agreement & keep Peace.
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.Romans 10. 9-10
so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.Hebrews 9. 28
“My deepest condolences and sorrow for your loss from America and as a Christian person” I can’t stop watching this video! It’s addicting.
