Morocco Earthquake: Life Back to Normal in Marrakech

On September 8, 2023, a 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Morocco. It caused a lot of damage and killed many people. The earthquake’s center was in the Atlas Mountains, which are about 72 kilometers southwest of Marrakech. Algeria, Mauritania, and Spain were among the other countries in the area that felt the quake.

The earthquake did a lot of damage to houses and facilities in the places it hit. But in Marrakech, only a few houses outside the city walls were damaged. Marrakech’s historical places, like the Koutoubia Mosque and the Menara Gardens, are all open to guests, and hotels are taking care of them as usual.

The Moroccan government has stepped up to help the people who were hurt in the earthquake. The government has set up aid camps where people who have been forced to leave their homes can get food, water, and a place to stay. The government is also trying to fix the infrastructure that has been broken.

Even though the earthquake did a lot of damage, life is slowly getting back to normal in many places of Morocco. The people of Morocco are strong, and they want to rebuild their country.
