Rescuers are digging through the rubble of collapsed homes in Morocco for survivors of one of the worst earthquakes to strike the country – with more than 2,000 already declared dead.
The quake that struck in Morocco’s High Atlas mountains late on Friday night also damaged historic buildings in Marrakech – the nearest city to the epicentre – while most of the fatalities were reported in mountainous areas to the south. Many more have been left homeless.
