Cold snap: over 2,600 Moroccan families get 25 tonnes of foodAzilal - Some 2,620 families affected by the cold snap and snowfall in
remote rural areas of Zaouiat Ahansal and Anergui in the Azilal region (central Morocco) benefited, on Saturday, from 25 tonnes of food. 
The authorities in the province of Azilal mobilized two helicopters of the Gendarmerie to carry out the operation and assist people in many small villages of the region. President of the Zaouiat Ahansal municipality Ouboulaâouane Yousef expressed the gratitude of the region's population to HM King Mohammed VI for supporting this solidarity initiative. To address the population dispersal in this area, threatened by the cold snap and snow accumulation which reached 2 to 3 metres, the Gendarmerie provided snow scooters to its elements to provide help to the local populations. As part of assistance efforts benefiting the affected population, a multidisciplinary medical caravan examined over 7,000 people and injected about 8,000 people with anti-A/H1N1 flu vaccine.
