TL;DR Summary

The death toll from Morocco's devastating earthquake has reached nearly 3,000 people, with over 2,500 injured. International rescuers have arrived to assist in the recovery efforts, but face significant challenges in reaching those trapped under rubble in remote mountain villages. The Moroccan government has accepted foreign assistance from countries including Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Britain, but offers from other countries, such as Germany, have been met with silence. Rescue efforts are being carried out by a combination of soldiers, government civil defense workers, volunteers, and locals, who are digging through rubble to recover bodies. The government is also working on a plan for reconstruction and compensating those who lost their homes.
