Eight Moroccans have been killed and 40 others injured, including six in a critical condition, in a bus accident Sunday afternoon in the municipality of Oropesa del Mar in Spain.
The accident took place when the bus carrying Moroccan expatriates skidded off the road and overturned, due probably to a tyre deflation, which caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The driver, a Spaniard, was also among the dead.
The passengers were going back to Catalonia after they spent their summer holidays in Morocco.
Following the tragedy, King Mohammed VI addressed a message of condolences and compassion to the families of the dead and the wounded. He also decided to pay for the hospitalization costs and repatriation of victims’ bodies to Morocco.
The monarch ordered Morocco’s ambassador to Spain, and the president of the Council of the Moroccan Community Living Abroad, to go to the scene and take the appropriate measures to provide necessary support to the families of the dead and the injured.

Can you imagine the "king" of the U.S.A., purportedly a Christian, getting directly involved and helping people the way King Mohammed VI has done?
Inshallah, next year I will come to live in Morocco where human life has value, and not only the elite.
