I wanted to make sure you saw this message.

On Friday, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake devastated Morocco.

The needs of women and girls are too often overlooked in disasters like these — newborns and pregnant women will be especially vulnerable in the aftermath of the earthquake.

Now, it’s a race to reach and support survivors in these critical days following the quake. As our team on the ground continues to assess our response plan, the needs are endless and every second counts.

Will you make an emergency gift to deliver humanitarian relief and lifesaving aid to women and girls in Morocco and wherever else it’s needed most? Here is my personal link you can use to donate: usaforunfpa.org?form=FUNTTFDWEMW

Thank you for being there when crisis strikes. We’ll reach out with more information as we have it.

ALERT: 6.8 magnitude earthquake kills 1,000+ in Morocco Please: Make an emergency gift to deliver lifesaving care and humanitarian aid to women and girls left especially at risk by the devastating earthquake in Morocco. MAKE AN EMERGENCY GIFT

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.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY GIFT

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.
