Campaign to shelter the homeless in the city of Al Hoceima

Campaign to shelter the homeless in the city of Al Hoceima

The regional authorities in Al Hoceima, acting on instructions from the provincial governor, have launched a large-scale humanitarian campaign to provide shelter for homeless individuals. This is part of emergency measures to combat the severe cold wave and snowfall currently affecting several areas of the province.

All relevant services, including local authorities, security forces, and civil associations, have been mobilised to conduct night and day patrols across the various communes and towns of the province to identify and shelter homeless people in temporary shelters specifically equipped for this purpose.

According to information provided to Hespress by informed sources, the governor of Al Hoceima province oversaw this humanitarian operation, ensuring that blankets, mattresses, and hot meals were provided to the beneficiaries, in addition to primary healthcare in coordination with the provincial health services.

This humanitarian initiative, which pays special attention to vulnerable groups, is part of the regional plan to address the effects of the cold wave, especially given the difficult climatic conditions experienced in several areas of the province, particularly in mountainous regions, with record low temperatures and heavy snowfall.

A responsible source confirmed to Hespress that this operation will continue throughout the cold wave, noting that the shelters are equipped with all necessary means to ensure a dignified stay for the beneficiaries, while respecting all health and preventive measures.

Civil society actors praised this humanitarian initiative, commending the rapid response of the regional authorities to the difficult climatic conditions and the close coordination between the various stakeholders to ensure the success of this solidarity operation.
