Burnley star Anass Zaroury is backing an aid effort to help Moroccans in the wake of this month\u2019s devastating earthquake in the country.<\/p>\n
More than 360,000 people have been affected by a 6.8 magnitude shock in the High Atlas region that has seen thousands die, suffer injuries or lose their homes.<\/p>\n
Zaroury, born in Belgium but who represents Morocco, has family who live close to Marrakesh and is joining Islamic Relief\u2019s aid distribution after they partnered with Burnley.<\/p>\n
\u2018It was heartbreaking,\u2019 Zaroury said. \u2018It was such a shock coming from nowhere. We were all sad in our families.<\/p>\n
\u2018Thank God, they (his family) are good. They are all alright. But it\u2019s still very sad. I am really happy there are a lot of people trying to help with donations and everything people are doing to help all around the world.\u2019<\/p>\n

Last week an aftershock registering a magnitude of 4.6 caused further destruction, with Islamic Relief \u2013 who have a base in east Lancashire \u2013 launching a \u00a310million emergency appeal.<\/p>\n
Zaroury added: \u2018If people can give anything, no matter how small, it\u2019s appreciated and it will help to get matrasses and blankets for those people in need.\u2019<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old made his comeback from suspension for the Clarets during Monday night\u2019s 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest and believes they are ready to kick on after a difficult return to the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Vincent Kompany\u2019s side host Manchester United on Saturday in search of a first win this season.<\/p>\n
\u2018We are trusting the process,\u2019 Zaroury said. \u2018Even last season we didn\u2019t start that well so I think it\u2019s just a matter of time as long as we stick to our plan and step by step we will get the points.<\/p>\n
\u2018United are one of the biggest teams in the world. They have a lot of history so to play against them is a chance to show your level against these big teams.\u2019<\/p>\n
