A magnitude 6.8 earthquake has hit Morocco killing at least 2,012 people, injuring more than 2,059, damaging ancient buildings, and sending terrified residents fleeing their homes into the streets for safety.
Troops and emergency services scrambled on Saturday to reach remote mountain villages, the epicentre of the quake, where casualties are still feared trapped, as authorities declared three days of national mourning in the wake of the deadliest quake in decades.
