Morocco Earthquake
By Our Reporter
More than 2,100 people are confirmed dead, as rescuers are searching for survivors from Friday’s powerful earthquake in Morocco.
Rescuers warned that the toll is still expected to rise.
The worst destruction has been in isolated mountain areas, which are difficult to access.
Residents have described whole villages suffering damage and rescuers unable to retrieve bodies from rubble.
In Marrakech, the nearest major city, many residents spent a second night sleeping on the streets, too afraid to return to their homes.
Historic sites in the popular tourist destination have been damaged.
Morocco’s King Mohammed VI declared three days of mourning and ordered mosques nationwide to hold funeral prayers on Sunday.
