Strait Of Gibraltar Association Trust Makes Emergency Donation To Support Flood-Affected Families In Northern Morocco

The Strait of Gibraltar Association Trust has made an emergency donation of £1,000 (12,000 MAD) on Wednesday, 4th February, to support families displaced by the recent floods affecting Ksar El Kebir and surrounding areas.

A statement from the Strait of Gibraltar Association Trust follows below:

The donation is aimed at assisting both the displaced families and the facilities currently hosting them, particularly in neighbouring cities such as Asilah. 

This contribution is being used to help provide essential relief items, including food, blankets, hygiene products, and other basic necessities, at a time when many families have been forced to leave their homes and rely on temporary accommodation and community support.

The Trust would like to extend its sincere thanks to Trustee Mr. Kevin Parody (Salsa), who is currently on the ground working closely with the local authorities, local charities and civil society organisations to ensure that aid reaches those most in need.

Thanks to these efforts, blankets, pyjamas, groceries, and essential supplies have already been distributed.

Further deliveries are scheduled, including 30 boxes of milk, along with sugar, cheese, oil, and other food items. 

A significant part of the support is being directed to a children’s summer camp currently hosting around 300 displaced people, as well as to private homes that have opened their doors to accommodate affected families.

This initiative and others would not have been possible without the generous donations and continued support of our beloved Gibraltar community.

The Strait of Gibraltar Association Trust extends its heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to making this emergency response possible.  

The Strait of Gibraltar Association Trust remains committed to supporting vulnerable communities in times of crisis and stands in solidarity with those affected by this natural disaster.
