Morocco Delivers Food Aid to Remote Mountain Communities Amid COVID-19 Lockdown

The food aid distribution operation initially targeted "the inhabitants of neighborhoods and douars located in mountainous areas under the communes of Tizi Nisli, Boutferda, Zaouiat Cheikh and El Ksiba, and will extend in the coming days to other communes in the region".

Significant logistical and human resources have been mobilized to ensure the delivery of aid to the beneficiaries, and this "in strict application of the preventive measures encouraging the populations to go into "confinement" mode and to go out only in case of extreme necessity".

This outpouring of solidarity was made possible thanks to the contribution and benevolence "of the benefactors of the region, civil society associations, public institutions and elected bodies".
