In better times, Morocco’s snow-capped High Atlas peaks were home to indigenous Amazigh villages, while the sight of the mountains attracted plenty of tourists.
But after the 6.8-magnitude earthquake that hit the Al Haouz province on 8 September, everything changed. Three thousand people died, and more than 300,000 have been displaced. As December rolls on, so will winter, snow and rain. The survivors have erected tents on the rocks but they remain exposed. Displaced women are especially in need due to a lack of menstrual products, contraceptives and maternity wards.
Yet government aid remains sparse.
