In the town of Sidi Boulaalam in Essaouira province, aid was being distributed by a private charity where most of the victims injured and killed were women and elderly people.
A local association was distributing food in a market where it is estimated that at least 50 people were injured in the stampede. Even though investigation has been set, there's not much detail to the story.
A drought in Morocco has put a big dent in their agricultural state and it has spiked food cost. Once a week in a marker or "souk" authorities and private charities give aid to the people where it is known to be an extremely busy aid event.
I read an article that said King Mohammed VI was going to pay for the burials of the dead, and bills for the injured. That King Mohammed VI was going to go through all measures to soften the blow for the impoverished people of those impacted by this tragedy.
