The recent earthquake in Morocco

- Rabat is at a significant distance from the earthquake zone and the organisation of the conference is therefore not affected. It is absolutely safe for participants to travel to Rabat and attend the conference in person.
- FEL is, however, overwhelmed by the devastation and the suffering of the communities in the disaster zone. Please read the full FEL statement regarding the earthquake in Morocco.
