THOMPSON: “And we’re also hearing from other countries, including here in the U.S. President Biden releasing a statement saying: ‘I am deeply saddened by the loss of life and devastation caused by the earthquake in Morocco. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those impacted by this terrible hardship.’ He goes on to say that he is in touch with Moroccan officials, working to ensure that Americans there are safe, and pledging his support for the Moroccan people. We have heard similar things coming from the UAE and also France, as there really appears to be countries trying to flood resources here to help those folks. And, really, time is of the essence, as we know in these situations, trying to get those people out of the rubble, rescue, and also find any more bodies to see what exactly this death toll mind end up looking like.”
