"Volunteers Rally to Aid Morocco Earthquake Survivors, Scientists Baffled by Mystery Lights"

Coordinating through social media, they are distributing essential items such as milk, nappies, jam, and bedding to communities in need. This grassroots effort is often faster than official help, as donations flood in and trucks set off for the mountains. The Moroccan government has rejected assistance from some countries, but many volunteers respect the decision. The challenge now is organizing and delivering aid quickly, as the affected villages face the threat of rain and long-term survival concerns.
