Morocco Atlas Mountains Continued Recovery (2025)

Ongoing aftershocks from the devastating September 2023 Atlas Mountains earthquake continued to affect Morocco's High Atlas region in 2025, with reconstruction progressing slowly for the more than 50,000 families still in temporary housing two years after the initial disaster. A magnitude 5.4 aftershock in February 2025 caused additional structural collapses in already-weakened villages. The protracted recovery highlighted the long-term humanitarian consequences of major seismic events in mountainous regions.
