The provisional death toll from the earthquake in Morocco stands at 2,122. Emergency services are working to try to find survivors.

In the rubble of the village of Imine Tala (Morocco), residents continue to tirelessly search for survivors. The human toll from the earthquake of Friday September 8 continues to rise and the material damage is colossal. “People are very depressed here, the village is completely demolished”, confides a man. To support its teams, Morocco has just given the green light to Spain, the United Kingdom, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

Subjects of discord between Paris and Rabat

But the country has still not accepted humanitarian aid from France, although it is ready to be deployed. A proposal that comes as the subjects of discord between the two countries accumulate: reduction in the number of visas for Maghreb nationals, rapprochement between France and Algeria, Morocco’s great rival, or the Pegasus affair, name software to spy on the French president’s cell phone, even though Rabat denies being responsible for the operation.
