“I went out through the roof of my cousin’s house. There was no more electricity or network. We had no way of calling people. We sat in front of the entrance until people arrived. Around 8:30 a.m., 9 a.m., people were able to take them out. We buried them that same morning. It’s been a dark day” added Yassine who, every evening, “afraid of it happening again”.

In the center, there are lots of young people. There are a lot of them there studying. And there are also Rajaouis members who want to give you a monthly grant, these are not just empty words. The day you are ready to come to Casa, you will come and settle in” Al Jaafari told him.
