The Moroccan King, government and people set an example of national solidarity following the devastating earthquake that killed 3000 in the Atlas Mountains. The difficult Atlas Mountains terrain and landslides were defied by Moroccan rescuers and civilians who took matters in their hand without foreign assistance. Morocco’s social media is awash with civil society activities including building schools and delivering containers to villagers ahead of the snowy season. Morocco however has said that foreign aid can contribute to the financial effort to rebuild the area. Morocco plans to invest 12 billion dollars to develop the High Atlas area focusing on reconstruction and the upgrade of infrastructure.
