In the wake of the devastating earthquake that killed more than 2,000 people in Morocco late on Friday, French cities and civic associations have mobilised to bring emergency aid to those hit hardest by the quake.
In a stark white room made available to the town hall of Châtillon, a village just south of Paris, a dozen women were hard at work on Sunday sorting through the donations that wouldn't stop pouring in. Clothing, tents and quilts, as well as medicine and food, steadily filled up the large plastic bags that sat ready to receive them.
