Many big city squares of full restaurants are full. Theyre still curious, wondering about that. But of course, of the city square teller all the different story like this one, where many hundreds of people to nights afraid of off the shops afraid of returning to their home. Some without homes to richard to us spending the night in the open air. Many off hang great at wondering why theyre receiving no help from the government. Other than the handouts, the policy is being bringing along every now and then in the last hour or 2, but not a case. Of course, hes not be happy center of this quite that lies 70 kilometers to the south west of here, across the high atlas mountains, with rescue efforts are still very much ongoing. The death toll rising and some areas have yet to be reached. Is mindful the casualty, toll is fast rising as americans begin the hot breaking duty of varying that the 6. 8 magnitude as quick as the worst to hit the region. You know, over a 100 use the water.

But as some bid, the final good byes, others are in the race against time to reach somebody who goes under the rubble. The International Federation of the red cross says the next 48 to 72 hours will be crucial. But its no easy task, especially in isolated mountain is communities. Such a rescue efforts will be absolutely prioritized in power, lot of calls with making sure that those that did survive all taken care of in terms of that basic needs.

We must all come together to give the victims of had a royal decree has been issued declaring 3 days of national mourning, while many residents have yet to come to terms with the new reality of rubble of despair around them. Here in the historic city of myra cache, despite clear evidence that enough quake has taken place much differently, much of its infrastructure remains on the scale. Not so southwest appear in the highest mountains where the epi center of these quake was felt. The communities in hard to reach rural areas will likely largely be funding for themselves. It may yet be some time before the true scope and scale of this disaster. Hes not jo. Nicole elders 0 america. Until now youre getting a sense of whether or not so help is reaching those places that need it most when its really quite difficult to get a broad picture of the extent of that health where its being deployed and where it is. And frankly, how much of footage that comes to us 5 sources on using it. Most of these to show clearly that some government implemented results is being used in rescue efforts in some of those hot to reach areas of the outhouse. Region 70 kilometers south west of here in the high atlas mountains, the epi sent to the region of this quite, but its an enormous area. It is very rural and remote, and hes very mountainous. A lot of those mountain passes have been blocked by rock fools and quite simply impossible to reach one area code tell route dont, for instance, has not seen any help. A tool fixtures the show people using their hands to remove the rubble is really a desperate search and rescue effort. Without any official assistance. The interior minister says the Ministry Says its mobilized o results. Hes at his disposal. A ministry has been brought in to marshal and oversee the response using assets of air and land thats had a comp does at planes, drones, engineering unit search and rescue units. Bobo, field hospitals, and so on as yet, the American Government has not put out a distressful for International Health despite International Help being on standby and also from countries like ducky, like outside the u. A jordan and also open eyes. I liked the International Federation of the red cross and the red crescent for the time being of the size of those are these trying to cope with this disaster as best they can, themselves. And donuts was pointing out to our view is that morocco has a history of us quakes. Let me ask you to the country, have been better prepared. Do you think are already just 24 hours into this disaster . Those thoughts, the questions are being honest and they may very well get loud. Yes, this is a country that lives on a fault line across the opposite mountains. Yes, it has a history of a lakes. On the one hand, the new build buildings in the city like medic, extra, pretty much on skype. So theres an argument that says that new Building Techniques of possibly saved lives here. But say happens in much more remote areas where dwellings with thought fall more valuable. And as you say, fried his ass good. Quite look at the 2004. How jose, in the 600 People Killed in that coastal city, thousands made homeless in 1960 a 5. 8 magnitude quite killed. 15000 people in a good deal. So the history of us craig activity is certainly that. Nothing just because this one and a 120 years. But one woman in this square said to me earlier, we all know that our homes of all new, but weve known that for years. No ones ever done anything about. All right, to join a how reporting live for us the from the historic city of maverick has jonah, thank you. Lets bring in. Somebody had been is hes a witness in the city of fans.

My 1st reaction data was to everybody, to uh, to uh, go outside of the house and go in during the whole door to the garden.

So now let me just jump in here. Its interesting because says its Something Like 500 kilometers away from our cash. Yet as you say people, this still felt the power of the trends. Absolutely, and uh, let me say to us, we were ordering the truck and in the state of a panic on disability because we have never done can we do so in our life for i am. So for 6 years old, i need to have the customer thats in morocco and i have never had gone through this. I am the know of using roku. Uh, going by the way back into the as in a couple of weeks on the, i was shocked just to took a look through this experience and. Busy a furthest place apartments, we are very far like the problems goes away from the sensor. The people throw the city straight into the timber on the house on top of the home. And theres so many people, including my service, spent sleepless nights because they were afraid of undergo in the folder after shots. Because what happens when uh theres Quick Software happen. These dots people are get scared of, of the ships, especially in the cities like 1st where people are not used to these kinds of, uh, your sources because uh, i just pulled up to point out that phrase has never experienced any uh, weight as far as i remember, let me, let me just jump in again. So may i mean, tell us about the old city in fair as i mean, thats a famous tourist destination. Did that sustain any damage of tools . Because its really elizabeth is like 1200 years old or something. So thank you for this question. Actually i am um you know, a lot of i am available.

I mean, you talk to us about you called your brothers very quickly. Who i think you said old sally been says, what about your other family and friends across america . What have they been telling you about their experiences, their last bed, you know, damages which have happened to them, and they all safe. When i go so it goes from uh the front front. Uh, cuz it wont go on posting we. We have to correspondence to confirm my coordinators. This will all be in one location and uh to, to 2 of them. Uh, told me the do you do you want to do it last night and one of them just suddenly just uh, already today.

This speaks uh to the partners of this uh, bar from the ours going that so thats really the for sure leaves and the uh about. Uh, so when youre in the, in the, the going to me more than what the market, the, somebody finished when i ran a good to get your experience here uh on. Ill just say our summer. Thank you very much indeed for talking to loud 0. Thank you. Let me think it was only my colleague elizabeth per on and spoke to the messiah about shaw me, a journalist and stock photography for north africa at the associated press. He explained what he, sol, as his team made its way to some effective areas. Everyone could feel the building steak and many people rushed to the street late last night and spent significant amounts of the night on the street get up at the shop. Um i like to joined the team and we headed towards the center passing by my cache in the morning as the as nic mentioned, that the damage there was um, uh, not very significant. However, it was still sad to see some of the, sorry was um, uh, it shows some damage and the cracks and even some, some crumbling. But as we went closer to that, how is the region which uh, which has the highest uh, tall. Uh i think scott, pretty desperate to really quickly. We arrive to abraham village and uh for about 6 hours that was non stop as monday being recovered or removed from under the rubble. Okay. Um it was a 5th uh a taken place. It was really uh, the scale of the, of the desperate and that was, that was difficult to pat them. People were very uh, quiet in shock. And uh uh there was uh multiple burial prayers for thousands of people that were uh, that had their grace doug for them this afternoon. Uh. Moving on from will abraham. Uh we moved to an okay town. What again and uh, is the same themes just a different uh, just in a different uh, geography. It was not the, it was not that hot mountainous region is actually next to a beautiful lake. But its also very, very sad and very desperate for me to have to spend the last the, the last night in the cold but less and how does the americans send this out and form administer . He says, all thirties are responding quickly despite many challenges, a very, very strong earthquake in a place that is not known for being uh, active in terms of the quakes, its the high plus mountains. Uh so uh, the in very different terrain where that is the center which is like the past and which with mother cushion instead of the dentist called the ti, the teasing test boss. What about all of those villages which i just got again and, and uh, and the other, the usual cuts and all the others. So we, i mean, like i think the moroccan apologies out of just out of get monitoring the situation counting, did that seem uh the, the, the, the, the magnitude of the destruction that is happening around the risk you, when people are getting them to a lot of cash the, the, the hospitalization, modification which is the closest town. Whats the closest city do you have given people there . I think that has been a call to give blood even in that, in my cache. Because that a lot of people, a lot of enjoy the and i think that unfortunately 632 out of bed at a given the magnitude we would see i would like what, what brought me like, how many people like but i mean, ive trapped within that rather than wouldnt be rescued whether there would be live or out of that. But its, its confined, although it has been settled in places like casablanca and robots and other places. But its confined within a center, which is south east of america. So the other house province is the province that it is its most, but also when you cross the high mountains towards the south west through fine settles, then thats also come use on that either side of the mounts. As you texted to the east of the the what does is that area that are villages which are affected and towards the west, which the show problems dot effects. Its after the same uh, earthquake in 2004 has put together this kind of makeup land for erupted intervention whenever there is this guy and the thing. So uh, teams have been ready for any kind of uh thing. And this is the moments when did deployed that, so each province has its own kind of rest your logistics to deal with. First kind of situation. But there is also a National Intervention that is taking place in order to reach those people. Without. Gera has decided to open its s space to morocco, to allow the delivery of humanitarian and medical aid. The president ial office says it will lift a 2 year banum flights to its neighbors, to north african countries broke off ties in 2021 of them. A rock coast territorial kings to westminster. Huh. But summer comes in from say theyre worried about their family members back home. Sure miss. How about i have my brothers doing dropbox and cause a blank country, my mother in law and i good their whole lives that have been touched. But fortunately on my side of the family, there was more fear than harm, which is found it, you know, have ownership of an hour before the earthquake. I spoke with my mother and everything was fine. Then when we heard about the earthquake, we called the family and i got the or does needs called my mother. And she said to me, listen, everyones left their house is, theyve all gone out to the street. Well, thats bringing shame. Ill that address your joins us from brussels and belgium, and she was on the phone to have brother. When the, off, the shock hit casablanca, actually, im a good to have you with a, so look you on the phone with your brother. Hes in casablanca, when one of the off, the shock scientists down hit tell us what happened. They must a been terrifying or exactly were on the phone talking about random face and then out of a blue he was like, i think the rooms shaking and, and the gardens like explain what was exactly happening. He hung up and apparently he really had to flee outside. I couldnt reach him again. So i called another friend who eventually told me that an earthquake was going on. So people have to flee on the streets of children were there. It was very chaotic and then eventually i could talk to my brother again. He was doing fine, but a lot of people elsewhere in monarchist for example, were not so. So. So did he just just tell us what happens after he left his home . What did he do . He just went on the streets and basically they started to look for open spaces spaces with a lot, not a lot of build buildings arou
