Two devastating natural disasters struck countries in Northern Africa in the past week.
On September 8th, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck Morocco. Being an unusually powerful earthquake for the region, many structures were not built to withstand this force resulting in an exceptionally devastating disaster. Below are a few organizations operating relief efforts in the affected area that you can support:
- International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
- Doctors Without Borders
- World Central Kitchen
- CARE
On September 10th, a severe storm hit the northeastern region of Libya causing extreme flash flooding and widespread damage and loss of life along the coast.
Getting aid into Libya may be challenging at this time, but Charity Navigator has collected a list of organizations currently operating in Libya working to support relief and recovery efforts in the region.
