Send Medical Aid to Survivors of Morocco Earthquake

Project HOPE is responding to the earthquake in partnership with our long-time partners SAMU, a Spanish medical emergency organization, who are providing search and rescue operations on the ground near the earthquake’s epicenter.

SAMU is now operating on the ground in Adassil, a village southwest of Marrakech, with a team of 19 people and six vehicles. The convoy includes two Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances from SAMU Tangier, where the organization is headquartered in Morocco, as well as a surgical rescue unit, three all-terrain vehicles, five doctors, two nurses, eight Health Emergency Technicians, and four rescue specialists accompanied by two dogs. SAMU’s honorary president and founder, Dr. Carlos Álvarez Leiva, who was in Marrakech at the time of the earthquake, is also with the team to oversee the response.
