Fermenting New Flavours: Sean Myles and Gina Harvestock Launch Annapolis Fine Cheese | SaltWireMARRAKECH, Morocco - Rescuers searched on Sunday for survivors of Morocco's deadliest earthquake in more than six decades, with more than 2,000 people killed by the disaster that has laid waste to villages in the mountains outside Marrakech.
The latest Interior Ministry figures put the death toll at 2,012, with 2,059 people injured, including 1,404 in critical condition. The village of Tansghart in the Ansi area, on the side of a valley where the road from Marrakech rises up into the High Atlas, was the worst hit of several visited by Reuters journalists on Saturday.
"We have no house to take him to and have had no food since yesterday," said his wife Saida Bodchich, fearing for the future of their family of six with their sole breadwinner so badly hurt."We can rely on nobody but God."PULLING SURVIVORS FROM RUBBLEFootage captured on Saturday in the town of Moulay Brahim, some 50 km south of Marrakech, showed rescuers pulling someone from the rubble. Two rescuers hugged each other as the person was carried away on a stretcher.
"I cannot sleep there. I am asking the authorities to help me and bring in an expert to assess whether it is possible for me to return to the house or not," said Mouhamad Ayat Elhaj, 51, on the streets with his family near the old city."If there is a risk, I will not return to the house," he said.
