It was reported that there had been victims of an earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale with the epicenter around 72 kilometers southwest of Marrakesh. This disaster claimed the lives of 2,012 people dead and 2,059 injured, including 1,404 people in critical condition.
Nearly all the houses in the area of Asni, some 40 km south of Marrakech, were damaged, and villagers were preparing to spend the night outside. Food was in short supply as roofs had collapsed on kitchens, said villager Mohamed Ouhammo.
The village of Tansghart in the Ansi area, on the side of a valley where the road from Marrakech rises up into the High Atlas, was the worst hit of any Reuters saw. Its once-pretty houses, clinging to a steep hillside, were cracked open by the shaking ground. Those still standing were missing chunks of wall or plaster. Two mosque minarets had fallen.
