Users who have completed POA before this date in the Marrakesh-Safi Province area will each receive $100 in BNB directly to their Binance accounts.</p><p style="text-align: justify" data-block-id="f7d7911b-be14-4042-ab9a-5ff8ec643ddf">We recognize that many users in the affected area may not have yet completed POA. Therefore, for any existing user who completes POA after September 9, 2023, and before September 30, 2023, we will donate $25 in BNB directly to their Binance account.</p><p style="text-align: justify" data-block-id="a6782b33-5bff-4798-9024-b2d782fa80ce">Furthermore, for our active transacting users across Morocco who are not in the affected area, we will airdrop $10 in BNB to each of them. </p><p style="text-align: justify" data-block-id="ccf3e249-268a-402d-87f3-fce0f53c32eb">We expect our efforts to reach around 70,000 Binance users living in Morocco.

We hope we can bring some support to those affected. For Moroccan users who receive these donations but are unimpacted by the earthquake, we ask them to pass the funds on to those most in need.â</p><p data-block-id="be752327-403b-47d0-9401-8dcb17f408ff">Binance Charity has also launched a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" appurl="" href="https://www.binance.charity/projects/43/Morocco-Earthquake-Emergency-Appeal" customevents="[object Object]"><u>public donation</u></a> address for anyone to contribute.
