Cheadle Masjid has teamed up with Islamic Relief to provide humanitarian assistance in response to the catastrophic earthquake in Morocco.

The powerful 8.6 magnitude quake struck at 11.11 pm on 8th September, killing more than 1,000 people – a grim death toll that is likely to rise in the days ahead.

Many of the dead are thought to be in remote villages in the High Atlas mountains, the epicentre of the earthquake. Residents are using whatever equipment they can find as they struggle to reach their neighbours under the rubble.

Blocked roads are preventing ambulances from reaching the wounded, and while officials are scrambling to clear debris, rescue and relief efforts are difficult amid the mountainous terrain, risk of landslides, and large distances.
