An earthquake of magnitude 6.8 and depth 18.5 km struck the region of Oukaimedene near Marrakech at 22:11h UTC (23:11 local time) on 08.09.2023. By 09.09, the Moroccan authorities reported more than 2,000 fatalities and many injured. National and local relief forces (Urban Search and Rescue, Medical response etc.) are in action. The Moroccan government is reluctant to accept international aid. There was no obvious need for the deployment of the Swiss Rescue Chain. |
