‘Marathon’, not a sprint: ‘Critical to find long-lasting & sustainable solutions’ for Morocco

Rescuers raced against time to find survivors in the rubble more than 48 hours after Morocco’s deadliest earthquake in over six decades, with nearly 2,500 killed in a disaster that devastated villages in the High Atlas Mountains. Search teams from Spain, Britain and Qatar are joining efforts to find survivors of the 6.8 magnitude quake that struck late on Friday night 72 km (45 miles) southwest of Marrakech. For more on the international response to the earthquake’s aftermath and widespread devastation, FRANCE 24’s Nadia Massih is joined by Tommaso Della Longa, Spokesperson and Manager of the Media Unit at the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies – IFRC.
