Five months ago, 3,500 people died in the strongest earthquake ever recorded in Morocco in the High Atlas, and 5,600 were injured. 33,000 houses were destroyed in the poor region, with its villages that are often difficult to access. It is now winter there. The Moroccan monarchy promised the victims of the earthquake an aid package of 120 billion dirhams, almost 11 billion euros, over a period of five years. Has this money reached the local area? How far has reconstruction progressed? How can reconstruction be carried out quickly and in an earthquake-proof manner? In the Haouz region, which is closest to the epicenter, Aïcha and Zahra are still living in the tents put up by the aid workers. Issa lost all his honey supplies, but was able to be relocated to a village of prefabricated houses. Malika, the teacher, looks after traumatized children in a specially set up container. Many architects are worried that concrete will once again take over during reconstruction. They defend the traditional architecture, which has proven to be earthquake-proof. #morocco #earthquake #reportage Video available until 04/02/2027 Link to the media library: https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/118091-...
