Sad News: Powerful magnitude 6.8 earthquake hits Morocco, kills 1000+ people

After a strong earthquake shook Morocco on Friday night, more than 1,000 people died.

The High Atlas mountain in Morocco was struck by a catastrophic earthquake that caused buildings to collapse and forced residents to abandon their homes.

The Ighil area of the High Atlas was affected by an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.8 around 11:11 pm, according to the US Geological Survey.

According to reports, more than 300 people have been hurt, and hospitals in Marrakesh have experienced a "massive influx" of patients.


The earthquake's epicenter was 18 km beneath the surface of the Earth, making it a shallow earthquake. Because shallow earthquakes have more energy, they are typically thought to be more destructive.
