Morocco Quake: Moroccan Gov To Rebuild 50,000 Damaged Homes

The Moroccan authorities have announced plans to fund the rebuilding of about 50,000 homes damaged by last week’s earthquake.

Reports say they will provide more than $13,000 (£10,460) for the reconstruction of homes that have been destroyed, and $8,000 for those with partial damage.

According to the reports, residents will be given temporary shelters equipped to withstand cold weather, and each household will receive a grant of $3,000 in the meantime.

BBC reported that the exact number of people left homeless is still not known adding that nearly 3,000 people have been confirmed dead, and more than 5,000 injured in the 6.8 magnitude quake.
