Powerful quake in Morocco kills more than 2,000 people

China Daily  

People work next to damage in the historic city of Marrakech, following a powerful earthquake in Morocco, Sept 9, 2023. A 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Morocco Friday at 11:11 pm local time at a depth of 18.5 km, said the United States Geological Survey. Morocco has not experienced a disaster of this magnitude since 2004 when a 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit the port city of Al Hoceima, killing around 630 people. The earthquake damaged many buildings in the old city of Marrakesh, the nearest big city to the epicenter, and many residents had to spend the night in the open space for fear of potential aftershocks, said Zhang Kai, an overseas Chinese living in Marrakesh. Arab countries and organizations, including the Arab League, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon and Libya, on Saturday sent condolences to Morocco over the devastating earthquake.
