This is a GCSE geography resource based on the 2023 earthquake in Morocco. It focuses on the longer-term impacts of natural disasters on people, with a particular focus on mental health. The resource uses a case study of an MSF nurse in Morocco, assessing, and beginning to address, the psychological needs of people shortly after the earthquake and beyond, into the medium and longer term. The resource contains several lesson tasks, including a first-person account from a nurse working in the affected area, and will allow students to develop their empathy in an area often overlooked in post-natural disaster scenarios, as well as to think more about some of the other medium to long term challenges faced by people following an earthquake.
The resource has been created by Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) using our authentic materials. Teachers are encouraged to review and select content and activities to best match their students’ needs.
