Morocco was recently hit by an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 that killed almost 1,500 people. In addition to those who died, many people were hurt and some are still missing. Inter Miami ace Lionel Messi was one of the top-profile footballers to share condolences with the Africans.
Another big name in football who was linked to the quake in Morocco was Cristiano Ronaldo. Many people and media said that the famous Portuguese person let people in Morocco stay at his hotel in Marrakesh. But the hotel owners put an end to those stories when they said that wasn’t true.
In a statement to Liberation, a hotel representative said, “This is not true. All of our customers right now have made reservations, which is normal.”
Throughout his career, the Al Nassr hero has been the focus of many acts of kindness. During his work, he has helped many African countries when they were going through bad times. We hope that the best football players will do everything they can to help Morocco and make people’s lives better there.
A strong earthquake has done a lot of damage to Marrakesh’s ancient area, which is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Many buildings and walls have fallen down, and the tight pathways make it hard to get people out who are hurt. People are getting food, water, and shelter in public areas that have been turned into makeshift aid centers.
When the Morocco national team made it to the World Cup semi-finals for the first time in their history last year, they won the hearts of everyone in the football world. They beat Ronaldo and Portugal to move on to the World Cup’s final four.
Now, they are doing everything they can to save the lives of those harmed, and many players are giving blood.
