Morocco’s earthquake survivors have requested further assistance from authorities.

A lady in sobs. Following Friday’s earthquake, nothing remains of the community of Imine Tala in Morocco’s southwest.

With little help from authorities, people had to rely on themselves for search and rescue activities on Sunday (Sep. 10).

Hada, a local, laments that the remains of the bridegroom, his wife, and his sister are buried beneath the debris. “There was no one around to retrieve the bodies. We request that you make our concerns known to the authorities. We request that the road be unblocked.”

According to government numbers revised late Sunday, the quake killed at least 2000,122 people.

The 6.8-magnitude quacked wiped out entire villages in the hills of the Atlas Mountains.

“People are very depressed here, the village of Imine Tala is completely demolished,” one unnamde villagher reveals. 

Moroccan rescuers use their bare hands to dig for survivors.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Marrakesh hotel is not providing shelter to earthquake victims in Morocco.

“There is no one left to help. The cliff fell on them. The people are still under the rubble and no one can remove the stones, and the authorities haven’t yet sent the equipment to remove them, as they haven’t done so for three days. You can smell the corpses everywhere. It’s a shame the authorities haven’t helped these people.”

In other parts of the country, the Moroccan Red Crescent and army lead the rescue effort.

West of Imine Tale in Amziz, other survivors have found refuge in tents.

“In the areas in the high mountains the road is difficult, and we hope the government and the civil society will be able to bring aid to those villages which are difficult to reach because they have nothing there, so in God’s will they will receive aid,” Mostafa Ushun says.

In addition to Spain, Morocco announced on Sunday it had accepted aid from Britain, Qatar, and the UAE.

The North African country’s strongest-ever left over 2,400 injured.
