Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa announced during a press conference on Friday that Japan will provide about $3 million in emergency aid to Morocco through humanitarian organizations in the wake of the devastating earthquake that occurred last week.
Since last Tuesday, a team of six people, including two nurses, from the Japanese non-governmental organization “Peace Winds Japan” has been in Morocco, providing relief efforts in the affected areas.
They are working to provide survivors with water, food, and other necessities.
Separately, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that it will also provide relief supplies and food aid to Libya in the wake of the severe floods that the country recently witnessed.
This support will be provided by using approximately $700,000 worth of Japanese food aid supplies already in Libya as part of the World Food Programme, with the aim of assisting flood victims.
Japan's commitment to providing emergency aid to both Morocco and Libya underscores its dedication to supporting countries in times of crises and natural disasters.
The magnitude of the earthquake that occurred late Friday night reached 7 degrees, according to the Moroccan Center for Scientific and Technical Research (6.8, according to the US Geological Survey).
