Fotos del incendio del campamento de #Casablanca de hoy que me envía una de las personas #migrantes desde allí. Era el más grande de #Marruecos, llegó a haber hasta 2.000 personas, ahora tenía un millar de expulsados desde el norte del país. Ha sufrido 3 incendios en 2 años. :-( pic.twitter.com/a5XlHiWCtH
