Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon, the FCDO Minister of State, has announced that the United Kingdom will provide up to £1.45 million to support the recovery efforts led by Morocco following the devastating 6.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the Marrakech-Safi region on 8 September.

The funding will be utilised to address immediate needs and support long-term development in the communities most affected, in line with Morocco’s five-year recovery plan. It will not only assist in enhancing health services and providing shelter but also expand collaboration with farmers and cooperatives to promote local agricultural products of high quality while protecting local biodiversity.
