Hopes of finding survivors under the rubble are fading, not least because many of the traditional mud brick houses that are common in mountain villages crumbled to earthen rubble without leaving air pockets.
Some survivors have camped out in the open along the Tizi n’Test road, which connects remote valleys to Marrakesh. They salvaged what they could from the wreckage, quickly packed bundles of their belongings and fled their destroyed villages.
Many villagers have had no power or telephone service since the earthquake struck and said they had to rescue loved ones and pull out bodies buried under their crushed homes without any help.
