Rescuers are racing against the clock to find survivors in the rubble and reach isolated communities after Friday's powerful earthquake. More than 2,800 people have been killed and 2,500 injured, according to Moroccan state media.
The quake was the strongest to hit the nation’s center in more than a century, and the worst destruction has been in isolated mountain areas.
The epicenter was not far from the popular tourist and economic hub Marrakech. Many residents have been sleeping on the streets, too afraid to return to their homes, and historic sites have been damaged.
