Late night, a powerful earthquake struck near Marrakesh, Morocco — killing more than 1,000 people with the death toll expected to rise as recovery efforts continue.

As UNFPA assesses needs on the ground, one thing is already clear: newborns and pregnant women will be especially vulnerable in the aftermath of the earthquake.

Women and girls and all survivors urgently need your help, and the coming days will be absolutely critical.

Make an emergency gift today to deliver humanitarian relief to women and girls — whose needs are most often overlooked during times of crisis.

We will share more information as we learn more, update you on our efforts, and let you know how you can help. Our deepest sympathies are with the people of Morocco, and with your generous support we stand ready to help.
