  1. They should try building their city on top of an active volcano next time, so we can all chip in and pay for their brilliance!!!!

  2. If only there was an extremely easy way to prevent a earthquake from destroying where I choose to live!!!! Back to burying my head in the sand. Maybe if I move even closer to the source next time my home won't be destroyed. What do you mean ??? I'm a perfectly logical citizen of Morocco!!!!

  3. I want to donate the new updated 3 little pigs story where the 1st pig makes his home on a fault line !!!! lol

  4. Bet the artards build their city right back on the fault line and beg for more charity when their homes are destroyed!!! You can't fix stupid

  5. Morocco sits along the fault between the African and Eurasian tectonic plates and has seen major earthquakes, including in 1960 at Agadir and in 2004 at Al Hoceima. Yet not only are Moroccans left in unsafe mud-brick housing, but no preparations were made for substantial disaster response.

    Moroccan King Mohammed VI, a longstanding ally of US and French imperialism, was vacationing in his €80 million mansion next to the Eiffel Tower in Paris when the quake hit. He has made no statement since his return to Morocco, only releasing a brief clip, without sound, of him talking to security and health officials.

  6. It almost reminds me something about what happened to Turkey and Syria in January 2023? The people of Turkey and Syria actually know what the people of Morocco are actually going through. πŸ’”πŸ™πŸ™πŸͺ¦πŸ˜²πŸ’”

  7. It's actually very extremely heartbreaking shock, as a Christian person my heart goes out to the people of Morocco from America. The truth is that the entire world is actually grieving and also showing their condolences, prayers, and respect. πŸ’”πŸ˜ΏβœοΈπŸ™πŸ˜ΏπŸ’”πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²πŸ˜²βœοΈπŸ™πŸ’”πŸ™

  8. My heart goes out to the people of Moroco

  9. Moroccans have bullied us non-Muslim South Koreans with a different skin colour, and do they really think the punishment called earthquake wouln't come up to themselves?

  10. Respects to all injured in this act from the Devil. May the devil be removed. ❀

  11. What are the things that inhibit construction using things like carbon composite like materials that are quite flexible strong and likely resistant to rodents and other things that add fruitlessness to the obvious endeavor of trying to keep things in working order?

  12. Jesus said this would come, But theres good news. Rom. 10.13. Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Jesus is Lord, time is short, call on him now.

  13. May the Lord and God meet the needs of our beothers and sisters and children in morocco and show them his salvation.
    COMPARTIENDO UN TESTIMONIO ACERCA DE NUESTRO SENOR DIOS, JESUS: JESUS SALVA, ESTA VIVO Y REGRESARA; EL CAUSO MI DESPIDO DEL TRABAJO EN AON MESES ANTES DEL DESASTRE PARA SALVARME DE LOS ATAQUES DE LAS TORRES GEMELAS DEL WORLD TRADE CENTER DE SEPTIEMBRE 11, 2001 (22 ANOS ATRAS) Y GRACIAS A EL, PUEDO VIVIR Y CONTARLO HOY. HONOR Y GLORIA A JESUS Y NUESTRO DIOS EN NOMBRE DE JESUS.
    SHARING A TESTIMONY ABOUT OUR LORD GOD JESUS: JESUS SAVES, IS ALIVE AND WILL RETURN AGAIN; HE CAUSED ME TO BE LAID OFF FROM AON IN ORDER TO SAVE ME FROM THE UOCOMING DISASTERS FROM THE WORLD TRADE CENTER (SEPTEMBER 11 ATTACKS) THAT HAPPENED 22 YEARS AGO IN NEW YORK.
    PRAISE BE THE LORD! PRAISE BE TO GOD IN JESUS' NAME.
    Scriptures to share: PSALM 23, PSALM 91, HEBREWS 11, HEBREWS 12, JOHN 14, MATTHEW 5, 6, 7, ROMANS 10, ROMANS 6, PSALM 78, PSALM 119, ISAIAH 40, ISAIAH 41, MATTHEW 28, MARK 16, LUKE 11, 2 SAMUEL 18. MAY GOD BLESS.

  14. They need to learn how to stop overbreeding. Two kids per couple is more than enough. Too many people and not enough resources. They can't expect the world, or even their own government, to solve their every problem.

  15. I'm so sorry. My prayers go out to all.

  16. Yea maybe they will make a building code now. You have to use rebar in concrete! πŸ™„

  17. Proof that relying on tourism can be deadly.

  18. And just like that everyone forgot about Hawaii

  19. Is the death toll of people they have actually recovered or is the death toll an estimate of people who have not been recovered.. If its a toll of who has been recovered only..then the death toll could be double or more?? An absolute tragedy either way.. ❀ 🌎

  20. Very sad… maybe we can send aid after we save Maui and stop dunding Ukraine

  21. I'm so sorry to hear about those people being hurt it's so sad it's heartbreaking I wish the best for those people and their family

  22. This is a terrible incident. My thought though, why are they reporting on the death toll in a place halfway across the globe but the media won't even report on Maui or even give an honest report on the death toll in one of the states? Hawaii might as well secede from the rest of this country, the media, the government and the agencies that should be helping have shown in the last month, they don't matter. Lies, non reporting and agenda for a few days in a few small mentions, way to go media

  23. So sad as more disasters are happening around the world. Too bad people cannot work together to help and just continue too cause more conflicts. Sad that even the government in some places will not even help their own people. They msy end up ruling nobody.

  24. they are only accepting help from "friendly" countries. pretty sad

  25. Wow. We got those numbers amazingly fast compared to recent events.

  26. Wow Heart wrenching!! So very sorry for the people in this awful situation!

  27. Prayers for all, now tell the truth about Maui, an American state

  28. I just hate how the number keeps going up.. I thought 1000 was a lot.

  29. Very daunting all the way around. The aftershocks can be deadly as well. Sending πŸ«ΆπŸ»βœŒπŸ»πŸ™πŸ»

  30. Forest fires cant burn windsheilds or hoods of cars like in Maui
