A friend set up a kind of fund to collect food and distribute it and after ten days, she told me: We had so much stuff that we had to stop (…) The help was exceptional, even internationally (…) I find that it was a lesson in humanity how they managed on the spot between them“ testified Slimane’s best friend.
