On Monday, the Algerian media Mena Defense claimed that the Algerian authorities had ordered emergency aid to help Morocco cope with the crisis caused by the Al Haouz earthquake and that rescue teams and shipments of medical and food aid were allegedly mobilized at the Boufarik military airport, where "one or more military cargo planes will be mobilized from 8 pm tonight".

In a statement, the Ministry of the Interior indicated that as the intervention operation continues, a more in-depth assessment could lead to resorting to offers of aid from other friendly countries.
