Al Hoceima Province / Cold Wave: Distribution of Firewood to Educational Institutions and Boarding Schools 
In light of the intense cold wave affecting several regions of Morocco, especially in the mountainous areas of the Al Hoceima province, local authorities have taken urgent measures to ensure the continuity of education and safeguard the health of students and educational staff.
As temperatures have sharply dropped, particularly in elevated areas such as Ait Bouchou, Tisirt, and Tafraout, where heavy snow and extremely cold weather are being experienced, the relevant authorities have distributed large quantities of firewood to internal schools and boarding houses. This initiative aims to provide an effective source of heating for students who are struggling with harsh weather conditions.
The Importance of Distribution in Facing the Cold Wave
This measure is part of a series of actions to ensure a healthy and safe learning environment. In addition to providing heating, local authorities are monitoring the health and safety of students by supplying basic necessities such as warm blankets and winter clothing. This also includes supporting educational facilities to ensure a suitable learning environment during the cold spell.
Collaboration with Local Associations
The initiative has not been limited to government authorities alone; it has also seen cooperation with various local associations and civil society organizations that have contributed additional support, such as hot meals and winter clothing. This collaboration between different parties serves as an example of solidarity in tackling the challenges posed by severe weather conditions.
Additional Measures to Face Climatic Challenges
As part of additional measures to tackle these conditions, local authorities are considering strengthening the road networks in remote areas to ensure faster delivery of supplies to schools and affected areas. Humanitarian aid distribution is also expected to continue in the coming days, alongside establishing temporary shelters for those most impacted by the cold wave.
Commitment to Providing Better Educational Conditions
These initiatives highlight Morocco’s commitment to ensuring suitable educational conditions across all regions, especially those facing climatic and geographic challenges. In this context, continuous support from the state and civil society plays a vital role in achieving social justice and equality in educational opportunities.
