About 20 men including firefighters and soldiers in fatigues stood atop the ruin of a house in Amizmiz as they tried to remove rubble, bits of carpet and furniture protruding from gaps between pancaked concrete floors. Montasir Itri, a resident of the village of Asni near the epicentre, said most houses there were damaged."Our neighbours are under the rubble and people are working hard to rescue them using available means in the village," he said.
Morocco's geophysical centre said the quake struck just after 11 p.m. in the Ighil area of the High Atlas.
