Rabat – Morocco’s General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) has set up two mobile bakeries in the Tahanaout district, close to Marrakech, to provide bread to those who were affected by the earthquake that occurred there last Friday.
These integrated bakeries consist of portable bread preparation and baking machines hauled by trucks to the site. High-capacity kneading machines, baking ovens, and bread preparation equipment.
The two mobile units have a daily output capacity of 6,200 to 8,000 baguettes. If necessary and upon request, this number may be increased.

Local government authorities are in charge of distributing the bread to the affected populace.
