The recent 6.8 magnitude earthquake in Morocco and catastrophic floods in Libya have left thousands in dire need of assistance. The toll on human lives has been devastating, with close to 3,000 lives lost in Morocco and over 5,000 in Libya, in addition to thousands of injuries and a staggering number of displaced individuals, over 34,000 in Libya alone.

Giveth is rallying support to provide emergency supplies to the victims of these devastating catastrophes. We are actively connecting with local organizations to channel funding directly to the people who require immediate assistance.

Here's how you can make a difference:
