Rescuers Search for Survivors in Morocco Quake Aftermath

Rescue teams are urgently searching for survivors in central Morocco following a deadly earthquake that struck two days ago, claiming over 2,100 lives. Rescuers are facing challenges reaching the most affected areas due to blocked roads caused by fallen boulders in the isolated Atlas Mountains region. In Amizmiz, a town at the earthquake’s epicenter, many mud-brick houses have collapsed. The IFRC has allocated 1 million Swiss francs, and the Red Cross Society of China has pledged 200,000 U.S. dollars to support the Moroccan Red Crescent in their relief efforts. Local residents have set up makeshift tents fearing aftershocks.
