Morocco will send relief aid worth $1 million to Haitians who are suffering from a devastating magnitude 7.0 earthquake. "This national emergency aid, worth one million dollar, includes medical and pharmaceutical supplies and will be airlifted as soon as possible," the Foreign ministry said in statement.

In these painful times, the Moroccan people offer their heartfelt condolences and feelings of sincere compassion to the Haitian people and hope that they will overcome this hard ordeal and promptly resume a normal life, the statement added.

Governments and aid groups from around the world rushed to dispatch relief workers and supplies to Haiti, where the devastating quake is feared to have killed thousands - perhaps as many as 100,000 -, but there are no firm numbers yet.
