Moroccan rescuers, supported by foreign teams, continued their research to find survivors of the earthquake that affected the country on Friday evening and who left nearly 2,500 dead according to a new assessment.
The earthquake of a magnitude 7 that occurred in the night from Friday to Saturday left 2497 dead and 2476 injured, according to a new assessment published this Monday, September 11 by the Moroccan Interior Ministry while the rescuers continue the research and the extraction of the bodies who are under the rubble.
Morocco has announced that it has accepted the help of only four countries after the powerful earthquake that hit it: Spain, the United Kingdom, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
The Ministry of the Interior reported in a statement that Morocco had responded favorably, “at this stage” to the offers of these four countries to “send research and rescue teams”, while several other states, including France and the United States, said they were ready to help.
