A devastating magnitude-7.0 earthquake rocked Morocco late Friday night, collapsing homes and triggering a race against time for rescuers. The quake struck near the High Atlas Mountains at 11:11 p.m. local time, its shallow 18.5 km depth amplifying destruction in remote villages.
Over 2,000 lives have been confirmed lost, with numbers expected to climb as teams navigate blocked roads and rubble. Survivors shared harrowing stories on social media, posting videos of flattened neighborhoods and makeshift triage centers.
This is Moroccoโs deadliest seismic event since 2004, when a magnitude-6.3 quake killed 630 people in Al Hoceima. International aid organizations are mobilizing support, while locals use flashlights and bare hands to search for loved ones after midnight.
Stay tuned for updates as global responders join Moroccan forces in this critical 72-hour rescue window. Our hearts go out to all affected.
