Morocco earthquake victims rise to 2,122, children worst hit

The death toll from a 6.8-magnitude earthquake that hit Morocco on Friday has risen above 2,000.

This is as the African country races against time to save those trapped under the rubble.

As response teams struggle to bring machinery to dig the rubble, villagers continue to dig by hand and shovel to find survivors, a report by BBC says.

According to reports, Friday’s earthquake is the country’s deadliest in 60 years.
