More than a week following powerful earthquake in Moroccorescue teams continue tirelessly to search for victims under the rubble.

In the village of Inerni, anger is strong once morest the inaction of the authorities. “If we had received help from the state and from qualified people, we might have saved many more lives,” laments a young man. “We dug with our bare hands following the smell of the corpses.”

In Imi N’Tala, a devastated village some 20 kilometers from the epicenter of the earthquake, no home was spared. Part of the mountain collapsed on the houses. After two days of operations, the body of a young man in his thirties was found by Emirati and Moroccan rescuers.

Even as the search continues for bodies, an even greater challenge arises: rebuilding the lives of those who lost their homes and loved ones.
