Devastating earthquake kills 296 in Morocco

At least 296 people have lost their lives after a powerful catastrophic earthquake rocked Morocco on Friday, sending a wind of despair and confusion across the North African nation.

According to a preliminary government count, casualties will likely increase.

The nerve-racking incident caused petrified residents to flee their homes in the middle of the night.

The 6.8-magnitude quake struck 72 kilometres (around 45 miles) southwest of tourist hotspot Marrakesh at 11:11 pm (2211 GMT), the US Geological Survey reported.

Strong tremors were also felt in the coastal cities of Rabat, Casablanca and Essaouira.

“We felt a very violent tremor, and I realised it was an earthquake,” Abdelhak El Amrani, a 33-year-old in Marrakesh, told AFP by telephone.
