In Ramadan, the victims of the Morocco earthquake are drowned in rain and no help

In the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, the heavy rains turned the seismic camps into the mud pools, and their temporary shelters flooded at a time when they were already supposed to live in the promised houses that were built in the country.

Since March 9, extensive heavy rains have been beaten in the country of North Africa, and the streets of streets and destroyed energy networks in small cities and villages that are already struggled with fragile infrastructure.

However, in the Atlas Mountains, the effect was particularly terrible.

For a year and a half, the residents of Talaat N'yaacoub, a village that was strongly exposed through an earthquake of 6.8 water, lived in tents aimed at continuing weeks.

Now, these shelters collapse under the weight of water and wind. Inside, families gather together, drew themselves into wet blankets, pray for a miracle: long -awaited aid to finally arrive.

“Tents are no longer suitable for living […] Halima, a three -year -old mother who lost her home in the 2023 earthquake:

Like many others, she hoped that reconstruction would be ongoing now.

Instead, the 12 billion dollar recovery program is still intertwined in the bureaucracy, and most survivors say they are still waiting for the aid they promised.

The help of the promised country was late for the earthquake victims

After the earthquake, the Moroccan government pledged 140,000 (about 14,000 dollars) a drama for families whose homes were fully destroyed and 80,000 (about 8,000 dollars) drama for those with partial damage.

However, according to local activists, many have received much less.

The state is demanding-57,000 building permits granted, 35,000 houses under construction-but in the highlands in Al-Haouz district, the gap between those numbers and reality is blatant.

“Most families, regardless of the missing amount, receive only the minimum amount,” said Hussein Ait Mahdi, a member of the group of victims of the Al -Haouz earthquake.

Transfer of materials to remote villages is another barrier. A single truck load of supplies can cost up to 4000 (about $ 400) drama – an account of eating in already limited funds.

Ait Mahmoudi also claims that local officials have dealt with the lists of beneficiaries, with the exception of orphans and other weak groups.

His brother said that Ait Mahdi, who is leading the crime of the earthquake, has long expressed such concerns. On March 4, he was sentenced to one year in prison for defaming and spreading false allegations – and his supporters say that revenge is to expose the government's failure.

Despite his trial, the group and the affected community are still determined to pressure in order to investigate the mismanagement of alleged funds.

Last December, the Ministry of Interior in Morocco launched an investigation into allegations of corruption in the distribution of aid.

Since then, one of the official entrepreneurs and many entrepreneurs, including a businessman in February, has been convicted of three years in prison for defrauding families.

However, for those who are still in the camps, there is no time for the promised political data and investigations – they want an immediate solution.

Ramadan in tents and under heavy rains

In Talaat N'yaacoub, 100 km from Marrakech, Rain turned the ground into thick clay, where the bed was soaked, and the few families were able to rescue from their destroyed homes.

The most vulnerable – children, the elderly, pregnant women – more than others. The nearest health centers are a kilometer, and with the presence of roads in bad condition, minor diseases can become life -threatening.

Also, lighting the fire inside the tents for warmth is risky.

“We have seen the tents turning into traps. We prefer to carry the cold instead of risk,” said one of the women, preparing with her neighbors outside the soup before breakfast.

For the second year in a row, Ramadan arrived under these circumstances. Where the sacred month must bring comfort, common meals and family gatherings, it now seems to be another burden, as families are struggling with the lack of cooking and comfort facilities.

The pace of slow reconstruction sparked increased frustration in the Moroccan Parliament. Opposition legislators accuse the government of neglect, on the pretext that its priorities lie in another place.

“Today, we are talking about building international World Cup playgrounds. However, 18 months after the earthquake, the entire families still live in tents. How can we accept this?” Fatima Al -Tabani, a deputy from the left Democratic Union, told local media.

Morocco is scheduled to participate in hosting the 2030 World Cup with Spain and Portugal. The contrast between brilliant infrastructure projects in Rabat and Marrakash and the dilapidated camps in the Atlas Mountains – known locally as “forgotten Morocco” – have become a repeated topic of political discussions and café discussions.

TNA contacted the Minister of Planning and Housing in national lands in Morocco, but he did not receive any response at the time of publication.
