RABAT: Survivors of Morocco’s 2023 earthquake that killed nearly 3,000 people rallied in Rabat on Monday, demanding their houses be rebuilt as part of the government’s reconstruction program.
Marking the disaster’s second anniversary, dozens of protesters gathered outside parliament in the Moroccan capital, protesting what they described as their “exclusion” from the reconstruction program.
Many held signs that read “No to exclusion, no to marginalization” and “A roof for every life, dignity has no price.”
Ibrahim Achkijou, 30, told AFP he was still living in a shipping container south of Marrakech, in what he described as a “big injustice.”
“We lost our home... but we were excluded from the aid without explanation,” he said.
