Statement from Associate Vice-President, International, Dr. Ian Rowlands, on disasters in Morocco and Libya

Last week, an earthquake hit Morocco, and earlier this week, floods devastated Libya. Close to 10,000 people have reportedly been killed and hundreds of thousands have had their livelihoods and homes destroyed in an instant.
