Moroccan officials have so far accepted government-offered aid from just four countries — Spain, Qatar, Britain and the United Arab Emirates. Morocco’s Interior Ministry says officials want to avoid a lack of coordination that “would be counterproductive.” On Monday, a teen carried a shovel through the rocks, bulldozers cleaned up debris and survivors steered away from half-wrecked buildings that threatened to collapse.
Offers of help poured in from around the world. But Moroccan authorities frustrated some overseas rescuers who didn’t want to deploy without official approval, which wasn’t quickly forthcoming. He said his group lodged its offer of assistance on Saturday afternoon with Morocco’s Embassy in France before deciding Monday that it would no longer be of help.
France, which has many ties to Morocco and said four of its citizens died in the quake, said Moroccan authorities are evaluating proposals on a case-by-case basis.
