Numerous fatalities have occurred in remote mountainous regions, primarily centered around the earthquake’s epicenter near Ighil in the High Atlas Mountains. This location is approximately 72 kilometers southwest of Marrakesh.
This seismic event is the most powerful to strike this North African region in over a century, resulting in devastating consequences. It has led to the destruction of buildings and has left already disadvantaged families with nothing.
