A 6.8 magnitude earthquake hit Morocco at 11:11 p.m. on Friday, Sep. 8, 2023, killing 2,946 people and injuring 5,674. This is said to be one of the deadliest quakes in the country in six decades.
Khadija Ait Si Ali was just starting to rebuild her life when the earthquake struck. Her husband died in a road accident seven months ago. They had been married for less than a year and she was five months pregnant.
Wearing an elegant holiday outfit and sunglasses, Chadia Halimi looked a bit out of place in the dusty camp on the edge of Tafeghaghte, a mountain village in the Moroccan Atlas Mountains that was leveled in last week’s earthquake.
