Injured, many in critical condition. Emergency team shall combing there the rubble using picks, shovels and their bear hands to search for life. Those that did not survive the disaster, theyre already laid to rest as it tradition. And to honor them, morocco will observe three days of mourning. The disaster has affected more than 300,000 people in marrakech and surrounding areas. Locals say thetys World Heritage old city of madinah has seen extensive damage. People talk about the buildings that collapsed. Its, it happens just down this route too, and when you go, like, further and further, theres a lot of damage that happened to a lot of buildings, some of them are mosques, some houses. A lot of communities got hurt. One of the poorest areas in the city, and those people need help like food, water, blankets, or whatever, whatever you can help the royal morocco an Armed Service are mobilized to get support from evacuations to supplies. Moroccos king declared three days of National Mourning in marrakech and that is because his country has been completely devastated by an extraordinary earthquake, totally unexpect in cities like this. This is the scene in the most ancient part of this ancient city. Here, a building clearly ripped away by this earthquake, but, the scenes have been even worse in the interior in the country where one woman who was trapped for some 12 hours was pulled from rubble in a remote village. There are 13 people dead in marrakech, across the country more than 1300 people have died and the authorities here expect the numbers to climb. The problem is getting out to the areas worst affected. The epicenter is 45 miles of marrakech. The areas devastated according to the local authority have been villages in the foot hills of the atlas mountains. Into these are villages which have been completely flattened, with one or two houses remaining. That rubble, was once villages and it is in those areas where the authorities are most concerned that the numbers of casualties of the dead and injured will climb. But, of course, the other problem for the authorities is the getting to these locations is really going to be very, very difficult because theyre saying large numbers of the roads, the Communication Networks have been severed by the earthquake which was completely unanticipated. No locals ive spoken to here in marrakech can remember any history of earthquakes here. Elsewhere in the country, yes, but, here, they say theyve never experienced, no tale or history, they say, of any kind of earthquake. But, this is the result. Bedding, carpets left hanging over the edges of walls that have been utterly sliced away as this ancient city has been rebuilt over the last few decades. Enormous amount of effort put into the reconstruction of marrakech, particularly here in the madinah, one of the prides of morocco. Very much a Tour Erst Destination but also a location of one of the kings major palaces, and it is very much the Cultural Center for many moroccoans, and this is what this latest earthquake has done. Same kylie, cnn, in marrakech. Some of the tourists in morocco during the quake are now returning home and talking about what it was like being there and the fear they felt. In fact, everything fell off. The decorations, the windows, the windows really moved its like you were in a boat thats rocking. Its the first time i experienced this and it is very, very, hard psychological because i have my parents who live in marrakech and i couldnt reach them. So, you have a moment of panic and you tell yourself your time has come. There was a risk that the hotel would collapse on us. The earthquake threw us in the air, it was such a shock, i thought i was going to die. In the last minutes, i prayed and called my mother. Thats all. Anchor now, the u. S. Gological survey says the powerful quake struck at a relatively shallow depth making more destructive and among the factors now at play as the intensity of number of after shocks and also the weather. Cnns meteorologist Jennifer Gray breaks it down for us. Reporter so, the earthquake in morocco magnitude 6. 8 occurred 11 11 local time. The depth was 11 miles which may seem deep but when talking about geol geological standardss a shallow quake, meaning youll feel it more. 4. 9 aftershock, 19 minutes later it was felt in algeria, and it was rare, since 1900 only nine earthquakes of magnitude five or higher have occurred. A lot it have people felt very strong shaking. Almost 3 Million People felt strong shaking and almost half a Million People felt very strong to severe shaking with this particular earthquake. So, aftershocks of 5. 8. Theres normally an average of one, could see up to 100 earthquakes at a magnitude of 3. 8 or greater in the coming days and even weeks after the initial quake. So, thats significant, especially because a lot of buildings, the structures are already compromised from the initial quake and so, um, any additional quakes could cause further damage and thats a big fear. Another thing to can are is the weather moving forward with the recovery efforts, its going to be brutally hot over the next couple of days, it will be dry but high temperatures in the low had 90s with lows in the mid60s. Now, offers of assistance are pouring into morocco for All Around The World. Germany offering rescue teams complete with sniffer dogs to help find victims. France has opened a Crisis Center and it is working with morocco authorities to determine the best ways to help. The u. A. E. Has offered humanitarian aide and to establish a air bridge to help deliver critically needed supplies. And algeria has agreed to open its air space to aid flightses. Joe english joins me live from new york. And youre joining us because your teams, i know are busy, what are you hearing from them on the ground about the situation . Yeah, good to be with you, michael. I mean, once again, an absolutely devastating earthquake. And we were speaking with our colleagues and this happened in the worst possible time, you know, 11 00 p. M. At night, just after when many families, children were at home, there in bed, and asleep. You can just imagine, waking up to your world turned upsidedown, the walls shaking, you know, parents first thoughts are always, where are my kids . Let me get them to safety. Many families leaving their homes with just the pajamas and the clothes on their backs. And many of them are scared to return to their homes because of structural damage, the aftershocks as jennifer highlighted. We saw buildings continue to be damaged and destroyed and collapse the days after. So, its a very real threat to children and to families. You know as we said theres now over 2,000 People Killed and more than it thousand injured and the numbers will only go up. Our estimate is that just understood a third of the population of morocco is children. So, sadly we think therell be many children among the casualties. What are your fears for the kids in morocco right now . Obviously, if theyre casualties, but, also if theyve lost their homes and schools and so on. Well, this is it, you know, its obviously the direct impact of the earthquake and you know, the first 72 hours in terms of Search And Rescue are absolutely critical. If youre going to get people out of the rubble, thats the time to do it. Sometimes we see miracles, we saw a teenager in syria rescued after 10 days and a 10 day old infant rescued after 90 hours. The affects will continue on going, children have seen their schools and homes destroyed and damaged and are now living out in the street, without shelter, so, its critical in terms of getting them safe drinking water, getting shelter and food and nutrition, its to help families who have been threw this terror begin to process this trauma. Absolutely. Dealing with will be a massive issue as it always is. With much of the damage and casualties for that matter in remote areas, what are the challenges of even getting to those in most need . Yeah, you know, any humanitarian responses always complicated and challenging. But, i think this really will be, you know, very much so. Um, you know, many of these towns and villages, theyre remote, theyre hard to reach, theyre on mountain roads, switchbacks, we know that the communications throughout, there are challenges that we face in humanitarian crises All Around The World and its possible to get in and provide the support, but, International Solid darety and support is critical. And hearing the offers of support from around the world is always heartening, but, its not a shortterm recovery, this will continue for weeks, months, and sometimes even years ahead. Absolutely. The ongoing needs vital. What are the immediate needs . And how can people help . You know, organizations like yours do such good work . Yeah, sadly, i mean, if anyone wants to support unicef. Large organizations like ours are critical which means we can respond quickly out the need for waiting for funds to pitch in. But, local organizations are hugely important in these crises, its the community themselves, local organizations working through those, the First Responders in the immediate hours. In sams report he talked about people digging out rubble with their hands, you know, and so, all the support that we could provide to these folks is critical. We were working in morocco before the Country Sighs and well be here all the way through and well support children and families to recover after, but, we cant do it without public support and donations and all of it is critical. And organizations like yours do such great work. Unicef communications specialist, jeff english, thank you so much for being with us. For more information of how to help victims of the morocco earthquakes through groups like unicef, go to cnn . Well, ukraine says g20 countries have nothing to be proud of after they failed to condemn the russian invasion. The groups summit in india with member countries struggling to come up with language they can all agree on. U. S. President joe biden was hoping to push more leaders to rally behind ukraine. But, in the end, a joint declaration issued saturday did not explicitly condemn moscows invasion or even single russia out. Despite that, the statement still earned praise from wash. Now, joining me from new delhi. Its well short of what most Western Nations wanted it doesnt even mention russia or ukraine . Yeah, i mean, heading into the summit, there was a real question of whether the leaders would be able to agree to any consensus language on ukraine at all. In that way, this was a victory, and you did hear the Prime Minister really kind of proclaim it from his podium at the summit yesterday. Certainly, the ukrainians are disappointed and this does stop short of what the leaders were able to agree to last year in bahly, this statement is watered down in a way. It doesnt mention russia by name and doesnt explicitly condemn its invasion of ukraine. It does talk about the importance of protecting sovereignty, territorial integrity. As you mentioned, the white house is trying to bolster the statement they say that its consequential, that was the word that Jake Sullivan used and they made a point that this was a statement built in bali. P but, it does certainly underscore the divisions which are present at the g20. Russia is a member and there are also members like brazil and south africa and the host country india hasnt taken a firm stance. And the statements always tend to reflect the host countrys priorities. The statement stands for itself, you read it no condemnation of russia but the fact that it was able to be written and agreed to is accomplishment in it self. One of those somethings better than nothing situations, i suppose. President biden will be heading to vietnam in the hours ahead actually in a moment when there are reports that vietnam is looking to buy arms from russia. How concerned will the u. S. Be about that dynamic and threading the needle there . Well, i think that is why President Biden is trying to go and elevate the u. S. Rip with vietnam. And one of the major Center Pieces of his visit will be a former elevation of the u. S. vietnam alliance. Ratcheting it up. They do view it as an important work against china in the region. This is really in beijings backyard. And certainly, american officials are trying to bolster american alliances across the region. Trying to act ads a Counter Weight to china. They dont necessarily describe these efforts as related to china. They think that this is about american influence abroad and trying to make things better for these countries themselves, but, really, you cant look at this without kind of seeing this attempt, this chess game in this region to try and expand american influence at a time when chinas military and economic aggressions are causing so much concern in this region, michael. Including to vietnam. Kevin, thanks. Well take a quick break when we come back in the cnn news room, a complicated operation happening right now in turkey to rescue a man, deep under ground in thatav and also, a Hurricane Churning in the atlantic, why forecasters are using caution even if it doesnt make landfall.
