As emergency crews in Morocco race against time to rescue people buried in the rubble of a devastating earthquake that has tragically claimed the lives of at least 2,600 people and left thousands more injured, the survivors who managed to escape the catastrophe now confront an uncertain and traumatic future. Crystal Goomansingh, reporting from the affected areas of Marrakech and Marigha, provides a firsthand account of the harrowing experiences of these survivors. She speaks with individuals who have endured the horrors of the earthquake and shares their deep concerns about whether they will receive the necessary assistance from the government in their time of need.

While international aid teams from countries such as Spain, Qatar, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates have mobilized to aid in the massive search and rescue operation, there is frustration as the government of Morocco has yet to approve assistance from other nations. Redmond Shannon delves into the reasons behind this delay, shedding light on the complexities of coordinating international aid efforts during such a crisis.

The survivors' stories paint a stark picture of the emotional and psychological toll that such a catastrophic event can have on individuals and communities. The trauma and uncertainty they face in the aftermath of the earthquake serve as a stark reminder of the resilience required to rebuild their lives and communities in the wake of such devastation.
