Promoting Psychosocial Services and Assistance for Vulnerable Migrants in Morocco Morocco is a transit corridor for migrants wishing to reach Europe and in recent years increasingly also a destination country. According to the Moroccan Ministry of Interior 25,000 to 40,000 irregular migrants, originating mostly from Western Sub-Saharan Africa, reside in Morocco.
