The people of Berkane are putting their blood drops to the service of the disaster-stricken community of Al Haouz.

The Province of Berkane, known for its generosity and solidarity towards those in need, once again demonstrated its solidarity through a series of charitable actions and gestures towards the victims of the Al Haouz earthquake. This time, a blood donation campaign was organized by the Blood Donors Association of Berkane, in partnership with the Province of Berkane, the Provincial Council, and the Local Development Company Majal Berkane for Innovation and Territorial Intelligence, on Sunday, September 17, within the premises of the latter under the supervision of the Regional Blood Transfusion Center. This commendable initiative brought together hundreds of blood donors, ready to donate this precious fluid to save lives and support the earthquake victims.

The earthquake that struck the Al Haouz region was a devastating catastrophe. The tremors caused significant material damage, destroying homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods. But more tragically, many lives were lost in this natural disaster. Hospitals in the region were quickly overwhelmed by the number of injured, creating an urgent need for blood to save lives.

Faced with this tragedy, the Berkane community showed its solidarity and empathy towards the victims of Al Haouz, as it rallied all its human strength to respond to this humanitarian catastrophe.

The blood donation campaign in Berkane was a great success. Blood donors turned out in large numbers to the premises of Majal: 600 candidates, of whom 249 were eligible donors, demonstrating their solidarity with the victims of Al Haouz. Health professionals and volunteers mobilized to ensure that everything ran safely and efficiently.

The blood donation campaign organized in Berkane in solidarity with the victims of the Al Haouz earthquake was a poignant example of people's ability to come together to support those in need. This gesture of solidarity saved lives and brought hope to those affected by the tragedy. It also serves as a reminder that, even in the darkest moments, humanity can shine through its generosity and compassion. This campaign should serve as inspiration for other communities across Morocco and the world to continue reaching out to those in need.
