Morocco: 2000+ Lives Claimed and Injured; Rescuers Continue the Search

Rescue teams in Morocco are working really hard to find people who are still alive after a big earthquake on Friday. It was a very bad earthquake that killed more than 2,000 people. This is the worst earthquake Morocco has ever had. Many people were hurt too, and some of them are in really bad condition. People from other countries are coming to help with the rescue efforts.

A really strong earthquake, measuring 6.8 on a scale, wrecked whole towns on the sides of the Atlas Mountains, which are not too far from the tourist city of Marrakesh. There was also a smaller aftershock later. In a mountain village called Tafeghaghte, almost every building was ruined by the earthquake. People who are still alive and the bodies of those who didn’t make it are being looked for by regular people helping out and the Moroccan military.

The earthquake happened at 03:41:01 (UTC+05:30) and was not very deep, about 18.5 kilometers below the ground. It was a big earthquake, and its effects were felt from Sidi Ifni in the south to Rabat in the north and even farther.
