Earthquake in Morocco: life returns to normal in the villages
Earthquake in Morocco: life returns to normal in the villages – (France 2)
On September 8, the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Morocco caused more than 3,000 deaths. The France 2 teams returned to certain villages affected by the disaster, where life is getting back on track.
More than a month after the earthquake, the images are still the same: that of villages in ruins while reconstruction has not started again. It is also that of trucks loaded with mattresses. By traveling through the Atlas Mountains, the France 2 teams aim to find Saïda, lost in the middle of nowhere when she saw first aid in the air. However, the inhabitants have deserted his village, and the smell of death is still felt.
School to keep you busy
Two kilometers further, there are tents for refugees. Through a maze of tarpaulins, the France 2 teams come face to face with Saïda. “I’m better, I knew you were coming back”, she said with emotion. She proudly shows the school which is under a tent for the moment. Under the tents, there are improvised classrooms.
