A 5.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in Morocco’s Ouezzane province with no immediate reports of damage or casualties. The quake raised alarm following a devastating earthquake in 2023, and government measures continue to address disaster risk management.

A 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck Morocco’s Ouezzane province on Monday at 11:48 PM, according to the National Institute of Geophysics. Fortunately, there have been no reports of damage or casualties, although the earthquake induced panic reminiscent of a previous disaster that resulted in significant loss of life a year and a half ago.

In summary, while the recent 5.2-magnitude earthquake in Morocco’s Ouezzane province did not cause any harm, it reignited fears associated with a more powerful quake in 2023 that led to substantial devastation and fatalities. The Moroccan government continues to enhance disaster management strategies to mitigate the impact of such events in the future.
