Moroccans posted videos showing buildings reduced to rubble and dust and parts of the famous red walls that surround the old city in historic Marrakech damaged.
A powerful earthquake that struck Morocco late Friday night killed at least 296 people, the country's Interior Ministry said.
People checked for news on their phones after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake in Rabat, Morocco, on Sept. 8, 2023. Reports on damage and any casualties can often take time to filter in after many earthquakes, particularly those that hit in the middle of the night. The epicenter of Friday's tremor was high in the Atlas Mountains roughly 43.5 miles south of Marrakech. It was also near Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa and Oukaimeden, a popular Moroccan ski resort.
