This wave of solidarity demonstrated the unity of Moroccans and their ability to endure adversity with dignity, patience, and thoughtful responses. As soon as the shock of the earthquake subsided, a noteworthy solidarity movement, described as ‘the largest of its kind’ started, with thousands of Moroccans from within and outside the country rushing to assist the victims of the earthquake. Citizens from across the country came forward with initiatives to provide both in-kind and financial aid to the victims. Under the supervision of authorities, several public spaces were transformed into centres to collect food and various products. This solidarity movement also highlighted the active involvement of all, women and men, young girls and teenager boys, and even children, taking turns to load vehicles before they drive to the tremor-hit areas in the Haouz.
