The earthquake that struck Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains on Friday has killed over 2,000 people leaving thousands more homeless.

The quake, which had a magnitude of 6.8, was the deadliest to hit the country in more than six decades.

The epicenter of the quake was located about 72 kilometers (45 miles) southwest of Marrakech, a popular tourist destination.

The city was among the hardest hit, with many historic buildings damaged or destroyed.

In the village of Amizmiz, near the epicenter, rescue workers were still searching for survivors on Saturday.

According to the the Interior Ministry, 2,012 people had been killed and 2,059 injured, including 1,404 in critical condition.

The earthquake also caused widespread damage in the surrounding countryside. In the village of Tansghart, many homes were destroyed and at least 10 people were killed.

“We have no house to take him to and have had no food since yesterday,” said Saida Bodchich, whose husband was injured in the quake. “We can rely on nobody but God.”

The World Health Organization said more than 300,000 people were affected by the earthquake.

The quake was felt as far away as Spain, where people in the southern cities of Huelva and Jaen reported feeling tremors.
