Following the tragic earthquake in Morocco on Friday 8 September 2023 the worldwide British Red Cross have launched an emergency appeal. Gibraltar Red Cross condolences and sympathies go out to the families of those lost and to the many injured directly or indirectly, and to all those in our local Moroccan community. We will set out shortly the Gibraltar society’s own response and how we can help our Moroccan friends in the longer term.

In the meantime, donations can be made for the Moroccan tragedy at the Convent (via rear entrance from 10.00 -13.00 on Monday to Friday); by cheque and posted to Gibraltar Red Cross, c/oThe Convent, Main Street, Gibraltar; or via a bank transfer to:
