The death toll from the powerful earthquake in Morocco with a magnitude of 6.8, according to Moroccan Television citing the Ministry of the Interior, has reached 2,500 dead.
In Morocco, rescue teams are racing for time to pull people who may still be alive under the collapsed buildings out of the rubble.
Rescue teams from Spain, Qatar, Great Britain and the United Emirates have also arrived at the site of the tragedy. Entire villages have sunk, others have been destroyed, in some of them the ground has been split in two by the tremors.
At least 300,000 people were affected by the tremors in Marrakesh and surrounding regions, according to the World Health Organization. An activist in the mountainous areas communicates to foreign media that the situation is catastrophic, as mud brick houses have buried people and their unstable structures have caused more victims.
The inhabitants of the isolated villages on the tops of the Atlas mountains have neither water nor food nor energy. While the residents themselves have started to clear the roads of inerts and create passages. Countless videos of the deadly earthquake that struck Morocco have emerged in the past 24 hours, documenting the scale of the tragedy and the desperate efforts to rescue those trapped under the rubble.
Many residents sleep on the streets of Marrakesh, afraid to return to their homes damaged by the tremors. Residents in the confessions made to foreign media say that now they can only wait. The epicenter of the earthquake was in the Atlas Mountains, completely destroying the foothills of the range.
