The number of earthquake victims in Morocco has exceeded 2 thousand people!

It became known that the number of victims of the terrible earthquake in Morocco already exceeds more than 2 thousand people.

At least 2,059 others were injured. The New York Times reports this.

According to the US Geological Survey, the earthquake was the strongest in the last century in this region.

Most of the affected area is rural, where many old houses were built from adobe bricks. The structures are not designed to withstand an earthquake of this magnitude.

As you know, an earthquake of magnitude 6.9 occurred on the night of September 9 in Morocco.

Many Moroccans spent the night on the streets of several cities, fearing aftershocks and the threat of being trapped under rubble.

Local doctors urged people to donate blood to help the victims.
