00:12 It's time for the news. Thank you for joining us on Mediantv for this edition.
00:17 The report of the earthquake in Al-Hawz is heavy.
00:21 It has reached 2,946 dead and 5,674 injured.
00:26 These are the latest figures from the Ministry of the Interior.
00:31 The stock of medicines for the care of the injured from the earthquake in Al-Hawz is largely sufficient.
00:40 This is what a minister of health and social protection said in more detail in this newspaper.
00:48 In Libya, the city of Delna, when it died after devastating floods that took entire neighborhoods,
00:57 thousands of victims. The European Union has unlocked a first envelope of 500,000 euros.
01:02 The United Kingdom has announced a first aid of 1.16 million euros to meet the most urgent needs of the Libyans.
01:13 The report of the earthquake in Al-Hawz is heavy. It has reached 2,946 dead and 5,674 injured.
01:23 These are the latest figures from the Ministry of the Interior.
01:28 Public authorities are continuing their efforts to rescue the evacuated and take care of the injured
01:34 and unlock the damaged roads following the earthquake.
01:39 All the necessary resources are mobilized to manage the repercussions of this painful tragedy.
01:48 More than 300 tons of medicines and medical devices were transported to the affected areas by the earthquake in Al-Hawz on Monday,
02:01 a statement by a health and social protection official,
02:06 assuring that the stock is largely sufficient for the care of the injured.
02:10 Under the high royal instructions of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection,
02:16 the strategic plan for emergency measures for the national strategic stock of medicines and pharmaceutical products
02:23 was activated from the first hours of the disaster.
02:26 This statement was made by Aziz Mrabti, Director of Medicines and Pharmacy at the Ministry.
02:31 Mrabti added that as part of the monitoring of the situation of consumption on the ground,
02:36 the Ministry has sent a new load of more than 100 tons to strengthen the stock at the level of the health structures of the affected areas.
02:48 The efforts of the various authorities have allowed the reopening of the road leading to Eril,
02:56 the most affected area by this natural disaster,
02:59 thus facilitating the procession of aid to the affected populations.
03:04 Details with Younes Benzenou.
03:07 In the province of Al-Hawz, more precisely in the rural commune of Eril,
03:14 epicenter of the earthquake that struck Morocco,
03:18 the fall of stones and the ebolium make it difficult to access the village,
03:21 but the tireless efforts deployed by the authorities have paid off.
03:25 The road leading to this mountainous area has been reopened.
03:28 If the aid was first processed by air,
03:31 with the help of helicopters and the Royal Army,
03:34 now the reopening of this axis, considered nebralgic, will facilitate the processing of aid.
03:39 Specifically, according to the Ministry of Equipment and Water,
03:44 traffic is restored on National Road No. 7, connecting Tahnaou to Tahroudant,
03:48 which remains, however, forbidden to heavy vehicles,
03:51 Provincial Road 2036 at the level of the trunks at Zekour and Animerou,
03:55 and Provincial Road 2007, Eril, at 8 km.
03:58 According to the same source, it was also processed at the reopening of Provincial Road 2017
04:03 between Marrakech and Oukéimden, on 15 km,
04:06 of which the Arbel or Hioukéimden communes are connected, on 30 km,
04:11 Provincial Road 2015 between Hasni and Imlil, on 15 km,
04:15 and Provincial Road between Mouleh Ibrahim and Hasni, on 4 km.
04:19 The Ministry of Health concludes that its intervention teams
04:22 are continuing the clearing operations of the rocks at the road level,
04:26 also underlining the efforts aimed at the reopening of all roads,
04:31 whose goal is to ensure the safety of users.
04:34 The authorities have also been able to ensure access to the village of Iqsit,
04:43 located in the municipality of Chichawa, in Imat Fekri, for details.
04:48 After the earthquake, the inhabitants of Iqsit, a village located in the municipality of Chichawa,
04:55 are mixed between shock and hope.
04:57 Efforts are being made to come to the aid of the victims of this region.
05:01 After four days of tragedy, the authorities were finally able to reopen the roads,
05:06 finally ending the isolation that this area has experienced.
05:08 The arrival of the first media team, as well as the first aid,
05:12 warmed the hearts of the different families of the village.
05:15 Four days ago, no one managed to get here.
05:18 Mediain TV was the first channel to get there.
05:20 We thank her and her team for bringing help.
05:29 After this earthquake, people here are suffering,
05:32 especially because of the state of the road.
05:34 But now the traffic is restored thanks to the efforts of the authorities.
05:38 Your channel has filmed people and their suffering.
05:40 We hope that our voice will reach those responsible.
05:43 We thank the authorities.
05:45 His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
05:47 Several hopes are on the horizon.
05:56 In addition to the houses, children want the restoration of schools.
05:59 The oldest, that of the mosque.
06:01 Joy and shyness appear on the faces of the girls and women of Iqsit.
06:06 After the reopening of the roads,
06:10 Mediain TV is the first channel to reach our region.
06:13 We thank her and we want our voice to be heard.
06:16 People here are suffering primarily at the level of the habitat.
06:19 People spend their nights sleeping, having the sky for themselves.
06:23 The elderly suffer the most.
06:26 They wake up with their blankets wet because of the wet nights.
06:30 This earthquake, despite the damage it has caused,
06:35 is a proof of hope, solidarity and compassion.
06:38 A proof that hand in hand,
06:40 humans can come from a great distance to their fellow brothers.
06:43 Our special envoy, Ilhan Barada,
06:49 visited Asni, an area affected by the earthquake.
06:53 A sinister camp has been set up to welcome the people of Douar.
06:58 I am currently in the town of Asni,
07:04 and more precisely in this camp,
07:07 which brings together the inhabitants of Douar Larb.
07:12 This camp is located not far from the hospital and medical center of Campagne Militaire,
07:20 which was set up the day after the terrible earthquake
07:24 that struck the region on Friday, September 8.
07:28 In this camp in Douar Larb,
07:32 there are no less than 150 tents,
07:35 which welcome on average between 6 and 10 people per tent.
07:41 Like this camp, there are about 100 tents
07:44 distributed throughout the region of Asni,
07:48 which is obviously affected by this terrible earthquake.
07:52 Asni has not less than 29,000 inhabitants.
07:59 The last census shows that this town,
08:02 which I will mention,
08:04 includes the towns of Asni, Wyrgen, Imgden, Tlet, Yaakoub, Ijoukak, Aghdar and Iril.
08:13 Iril was obviously the heart, the center and the epicenter of this terrible earthquake that struck the region.
08:22 We asked the people who settled in these tents,
08:27 who obviously experienced a very difficult time during this earthquake.
08:34 But as you know, Moroccan resilience is exceptional.
08:38 They are happy to have found a few hours,
08:41 if not a few hours after this terrible earthquake,
08:45 to have found tents where they settled with their families.
08:48 The majority have not lost any member of their family.
08:53 As I said, the Dwar of the Arab has lost 4 people, 3 women and 1 man.
08:59 But the majority of the people who settled here are happy to find their family members,
09:05 safe and sound.
09:07 Here they receive daily, of course,
09:10 donations and support from the Mohamed V Foundation for Solidarity,
09:16 but of course from all the bodies that are mobilized to face this terrible earthquake,
09:22 whether civilians or soldiers.
09:25 Solidarity continues and never ceases to thank these people who bring their support,
09:31 who bring their donations,
09:33 which, I remind you, are gathered in the depots
09:37 which are made available to donors by the Mohamed V Foundation for Solidarity,
09:44 which continues to carry out daily the donations to the affected
09:50 and of course to the people who need psychological support.
09:55 As I said, this center is not far from the military hospital of Campagne,
10:00 which still hosts 50 people,
10:03 50 people of course to bring support,
10:07 50 people, excuse me, of social workers who are there to psychologically accompany these people
10:13 and who also come to visit them on site to bring them their support.
10:19 And the inhabitants of the affected areas are taken care of.
10:23 This is the case in the camp set up in the town of Asni,
10:27 in the province of Al-Hawz.
10:29 A dozen tents were set up by the authorities and the Royal Armed Forces.
10:33 Younes Benzileb.
10:35 While the entire Morocco mobilizes to help the affected populations by the earthquake,
10:41 the inhabitants of the affected areas are taken care of by the authorities.
10:45 This is the case in the camp set up in the town of Asni,
10:49 in the province of Al-Hawz.
10:51 A dozen tents were set up by the authorities and the Royal Armed Forces.
10:55 The beneficiaries, mostly from Douar l'Arab,
10:58 and who have sometimes lost everything, can feel safe again.
11:03 We came here the day after the earthquake on Saturday morning.
11:10 We were well received.
11:12 We have food, water, blankets.
11:15 We have practically all the basic necessities.
11:19 I would like to thank King Mohammed VI, the local authorities,
11:24 the army, the Royal Gendarmerie for their efforts.
11:29 The town of Asni is located a few dozen kilometers from the heart of the earthquake
11:35 that shook the province of Al-Hawz, as in the town of Asni.
11:39 The earthquake that struck Morocco last Friday caused a huge wave of citizen solidarity.
11:45 Since Sunday, the roads link Marrakech to the cities and villages of the Atlas,
11:49 knowing an incessant flow of vehicles.
11:52 There are people who have lost everything, the family, the house.
12:00 People have suffered a lot because of this disaster.
12:03 Fortunately, the authorities were mobilized to provide help.
12:08 The wave of solidarity that has formed in all the cities of the kingdom is remarkable.
12:12 The displaced inhabitants have received everything, food, medicine, clothes,
12:17 actions that are warm to the heart.
12:20 Moreover, it is one of the peculiarities that distinguishes the Moroccan people.
12:24 The camp is added to others installed in the town of Asni,
12:29 one of the areas most affected by the earthquake.
12:32 It is located not far from the military medical-surgical hospital of Campania,
12:36 facilities that translate the impressive logistical mobilization deployed in favor of these populations.
12:42 The Royal Army Forces are on all fronts.
12:48 They have put in place an important rescue and evacuation system,
12:53 air aid to areas affected by the earthquake,
12:56 especially those that are difficult to access by land.
13:00 Several Royal Army Helicopters carry out combined missions,
13:04 or aid drop-offs and evacuation of the injured.
13:09 At the Royal Air Force Base in Marrakech,
13:12 between 35 and 40 operations are carried out on average every day
13:16 depending on the climate conditions and the reliefs on the ground.
13:21 The Royal Army Forces have also mobilized drones
13:29 that allow the advanced command posts to carry out rescue operations in Marrakech
13:34 and to follow the situation in real time in the areas affected by the earthquake,
13:39 and then decide on the nature of the aid to be provided
13:43 according to the needs in coordination with the intervention units
13:47 of the Royal Army Forces deployed on the ground and the local authorities.
13:51 This device also mobilizes ambulances,
13:53 and provides important human resources between pilots, technicians, ground staff and medical personnel.
13:59 Many survivors have found themselves in shelters,
14:10 and the villagers of the areas affected by the earthquake are worried about their accommodation.
14:16 The example of the 12 Ababacar Tonkara tells us more.
14:22 This is the deadliest earthquake in Morocco since 1960,
14:27 and the most powerful since more than a century.
14:30 Mohamed Belkas is one of the survivors of the earthquake in the village of Adouze.
14:34 This long night still haunts his sleep.
14:37 I don't want to remember these four hours.
14:41 If I think about it, it will make me cry.
14:43 It was death. There was no oxygen. Just darkness.
14:47 I don't want to remember.
14:50 There was no oxygen.
14:53 Many survivors of the earthquake in Morocco have found themselves in shelters,
14:58 while the villagers of the devastated mountainous areas have isolated themselves.
15:02 We lack roads, as you know.
15:07 If we had had some, many things could have been resolved.
15:11 There is a road on this side and one on the other. That's all.
15:16 Another difficulty encountered in the villages is the problem of conservation of first-need food.
15:21 The villagers do not have any means of storage.
15:25 People need first-need products.
15:29 They get milk, for example, but it can quickly expire because we have nowhere to store it.
15:35 They need products like sugar and oil, which are not easily perishable.
15:40 The situation is particularly difficult for the inhabitants of the isolated areas
15:43 caused by the landslide caused by the earthquake, which blocked access roads.
15:47 At the moment, rescue operations are intensifying
15:50 and tents and food and water distribution camps are being set up in several remote locations.
15:57 On social media, videos showing the momentum of solidarity of the Moroccans
16:05 in favor of the victims affected by the earthquake
16:08 are numerous. As soon as we see trucks coming from all over Morocco
16:13 heading for the region of El House, we are happy.
16:16 The whole of Morocco mobilizes to ease its wounds.
16:23 The earthquake that occurred on Friday in the El House region
16:27 has not only affected the populations of this region, but the entire Moroccan population.
16:32 On social media, thousands of people volunteer
16:36 to support the victims in this tragic period.
16:39 The Moroccans in the areas spared by the earthquake
16:42 cannot be indifferent to the suffering of the victims.
16:45 All of them mobilize by distributing food,
16:49 food and moral support through social media.
16:52 Small and large, we participated in this national support campaign.
16:56 We see, for example, on these images, a little boy proud to carry his package
17:01 to the truck where a package is collected in favor of the victims of the earthquake.
17:06 A wave of solidarity is spreading.
17:09 Some visiting Morocco can witness such solidarity.
17:13 This is the case of this tourist who could not help but comment on social media.
17:17 Solidarity has spread since the earthquake occurred.
17:21 It's beautiful to see, it's really warm in the heart.
17:25 And it gives me faith in humanity.
17:28 I see lines of waiting, kilometers and kilometers to give their blood.
17:34 The Moroccans are fully, fully, fully, fully in solidarity.
17:39 The Moroccan citizens' help to face such a situation
17:43 has been translated in different ways.
17:45 Students did not hesitate to bring their knowledge
17:48 by generating electricity to facilitate the assistance of intervention teams.
17:53 Via the SpaceX satellites and the Starlink network,
17:57 they also provided the Internet to allow the victims to join their loved ones.
18:02 Countless convoys of trucks crossed Morocco
18:12 to reach the communes affected by the earthquake.
18:16 From the northern provinces to the southern provinces,
18:19 the Moroccans responded to the call made by their citizens
18:24 who were strongly affected by the earthquake.
18:27 These reactions once again demonstrate the solidarity,
18:31 mutual aid, compassion and dignity
18:34 that characterize the Moroccan people in all circumstances.
18:38 And now let's talk about this other tragedy.
18:45 The Libyan city of Delnar did not stop counting its deaths on Thursday
18:49 after devastating floods that swept through entire neighborhoods
18:53 and caused thousands of deaths.
18:56 The European Commission announced the sending of aid from Germany,
19:00 Romania and Finland to this coastal city in eastern Libya,
19:04 where the situation is dramatic.
19:06 The European Union has unlocked a first envelope of 500,000 euros
19:09 and the United Kingdom has announced a first aid of 1.16 million euros
19:13 to meet the needs of the most urgent Libyans.
19:17 The death toll continues to rise.
19:19 Bodies are wrapped up in rope covers.
19:23 Some are still in the streets, others are crammed into pickups
19:26 on their way to the cemeteries.
19:29 This is how this newscast ends.
19:38 Stay with us for more information on Mediardv.
19:41 See you soon.
