More than 2,900 people are now known to have died in last Friday’s earthquake in Morocco. Most of them in remote parts of the Atlas Mountains. Many buildings have been reduced to rubble in the small town of Amizmiz, in a valley in the mountains about 34 miles (55km) south of Marrakesh. There is no electricity, no running water and no communications. Most of its inhabitants are now homeless. Among them, secondary school teacher, Abdelali Mahfodi. He told Newsday: “We are about to welcome winter time where temperatures are below zero in the village and the mountains are covered in snow…imagine the situation of all the people that are now homeless, that are now sitting in tents. How could they manage that cold if their houses are not built again? We can stand hunger, we can stand thirst but we can’t stand cold.” (Picture: Shows survivors under a makeshift cover looking on near damaged buildings, in the aftermath of a deadly earthquake, in Amizmiz, Morocco, September 10, 2023.
