"Morocco Earthquake: Death Toll Surpasses 2,100 as Aid Efforts and Artisans Struggle"

The death toll from the 6.8-magnitude earthquake in Morocco has risen to over 2,100, with more than 2,400 injured. The Moroccan Interior Ministry has accepted search-and-rescue assistance from Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and the United Kingdom. The earthquake, the strongest to hit the area in over a century, has devastated the High Atlas Mountains region, affecting over 300,000 people. The U.S. State Department has confirmed that Americans were injured but no U.S. citizen deaths have been reported. International aid and support from various countries and organizations have been offered to Morocco. The worst-hit areas, already among the poorest in the country, are facing significant challenges in terms of infrastructure and resources.
