Morocco’s Interior Ministry reported at least 1,037 deaths, mostly in Marrakesh and five provinces near the epicenter. Another 1,204 people were injured, 721 of them in serious condition.
The military has mobilized efforts to help the victims, but the roads into the mountainous region are too crowded or blocked by rocks, slowing rescue efforts.
We remind you that on Friday night a strong earthquake occurred in Morocco. The US Geological Survey rates it at 6.8.
The Foreign Ministry is investigating whether there are Ukrainians among the victims in Morocco
