Current events require, TF1 has chosen to shake up its usual Sunday programming to offer this September 10, 2023 a special and expanded edition of its 1 p.m., in the presence of Anne-Claire Coudray and Gilles Bouleau, in order to return to the Moroccan earthquake which has already caused the death of 2012 people and 2059 injuries (including 1404 in critical condition). More than half of the people killed by the earthquake came from the province of Al Haouz, the most affected by the tragedy. The Taroudant region, also located in the heart of the High Atlas (epicenter of the earthquake), was also seriously impacted, with nearly 500 deaths recorded.
Guest of this special edition, Jamel Debbouze, who had already reacted via social networks to this tragedy, paid tribute to his family, present on site, and announced that he in turn was going to go to Morocco to rescue the thousands of victims: ”I immediately got news from my family. Fortunately, many got away with it. We realize through everything we hear that it is catastrophic, that never in the history of my family have we experienced something like this. There is great anxiety at the moment in Morocco..
Jamel Debbouze is going to Morocco this evening
Very worried about his friends and relatives present there, Jamel Debbouze announced that he would go ”from this evening” on site to help them, as well as all the other affected Moroccans whom he does not know: ‘‘Many, in the same situation as me, are trying to return to the country to get news of the families, to see how we can help concretely. There is an incredible surge of solidarity, we can see it on site, but also throughout the world. We are all haggard in the face of this situation, we wonder how to be useful” congratulates the comedian and husband of journalist Mélissa Theuriau.
An earthquake in 1960 decimated the city of Agadir
Jamel Debbouze, however, seems to forget the 1960 earthquake which struck the Agadir region. If the comedian was actually not born, his family necessarily remembers him. With a lower magnitude and estimated at 5.7 on the Richter scale, this violent earthquake caused the death of more than 12,000 people, and injured more than 25,000 people. The earthquake lasted more than fifteen seconds, and thus decimated more than a third of the Agadier population. In 1969, a new earthquake, of magnitude 7.8, killed 31 people despite a much stronger and more widespread intensity (Spain and Portugal were also affected). Finally, in 2004, another earthquake, of magnitude 6.3, struck the region of Al Hoceima, causing the death of 629 people and injuring 926 others.
