Poignant testimonies from a beneficiary
“Right now we are very discouraged. We started looking for flights, which were sold out in an instant. We had to take flights even for a thousand euros to try to leave early because we were leaving next Wednesday.
The hotels are the same. We had to come to the new district of Marrakech, where there are more luxury hotels, so to speak. Now we have managed to get Cristiano Ronaldo’s hotel, which is on the outskirts, to give us a room. We are waiting. We slept all night on the street and at seven in the morning they told us that yes we can come and we are in a hall with a lot of people of different nationalities”told Irene Seixas, a Spanish tourist in Morocco to 24h, the Spanish public service news channel.
note that since this tragedy in Morocco, many people and countries have provided support to the Moroccan people. The gesture of the Portuguese player will remain engraved in the memory of the beneficiaries.
