    Moroccan village shaken by aftershock following devastating earthquake: nation faces unprecedented crisis

    Moroccan village shaken by aftershock following devastating earthquake: nation faces unprecedented crisis

    A mountainous village in Morocco was jolted by another seismic shock on September 13, sending shockwaves of fear through residents who had already endured a devastating earthquake just days before. The aftershock struck near the epicenter of the initial quake, resulting in scenes of chaos and concern in the village of Imi N'Tala.

    Dramatic video footage captured the harrowing moment as rescue workers, villagers, and journalists scrambled for safety during the aftershock. Thankfully, there were no fatalities, but one person did sustain minor injuries when a rock fell in the High Atlas Mountains area during the tremor.

    Morocco continues to grapple with the aftermath of last week's devastating 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck late September 8. The most recent toll on September 12 indicated a staggering 2,901 fatalities and 5,530 injuries, making it the nation's deadliest earthquake on record and the most catastrophic in over six decades.

    Rescue teams have been working tirelessly in the affected region, though the chances of finding survivors diminish with each passing day. Vehicles loaded with essential supplies are slowly making their way up winding mountain roads to provide much-needed food and tents to survivors.

    Despite the passage of time, search teams are still scouring the rubble in the hope of finding survivors. Moroccan citizens have rallied to support the quake victims, offering food, water, blankets, and blood donations to aid the injured. Even the national football team has joined in this collective effort.

    In Marrakesh, a popular tourist destination with a UNESCO-listed historic center, many families have been sleeping out in the open for five consecutive nights, huddled in blankets on public squares due to fear of further aftershocks.

    Morocco has accepted assistance from rescue teams dispatched by Spain, Britain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. However, it has declined offers from several other nations, including the United States, France, and some Middle Eastern countries.

    The recent earthquake is the deadliest Morocco has experienced since the catastrophic 1960 quake that decimated Agadir on the Atlantic coast, claiming the lives of between 12,000 and 15,000 people.

    The United Nations estimates that more than 300,000 people have been affected by the disaster, with a significant portion being children. Rebuilding efforts are expected to be monumental for Morocco, a North African nation that was already grappling with economic challenges and years of drought, now compounded by fears of a downturn in the crucial tourism sector. The nation must now face the daunting task of recovering and rebuilding in the wake of this devastating earthquake.
