Spain is home to Morocco’s second-largest diaspora after France, and its members are not sitting idle after the earthquake. Nonprofits and individuals are packing vehicles with supplies and driving south toward the straits of Gibraltar where they can ferry into North Africa. But, as The World’s Gerry Hadden reports from Barcelona, coordinating relief efforts has been tough.
Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.
Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
