Morocco earthquake updates: Over 2,900 killed in rare, powerful quake

At least 2,122 people are dead following Friday's massive earthquake, according to the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces.

Al-Haouz province, where the epicenter was located, suffered the highest number of deaths, followed by the province of Taroudant.

In the village of Amizmiz, some areas have been entirely wiped out, local TV reported. The Red Cross warned that it could take years to repair the damage.

At least 2,421 are injured, officials said.

The death toll in the earthquake near Marrakech has surpassed 2,000, according to Morocco's Interior Ministry.

At least 2,012 people were killed, mostly in Marrakech and five provinces near the epicenter, officials said. At least 2,059 people were injured -- including 1,404 critically -- officials said.

Algeria has offered humanitarian aid and has offered to open its airspace to allow eventual humanitarian aid or medical evacuation flights in and out of neighboring Morocco as the death toll continues to rise.

The country, which is bordered by Morocco to the west, closed the airspace when its government severed diplomatic ties with Morocco in 2021 over a series of issues. The countries have a decades-long dispute involving the territory of Western Sahara.

Algeria said it is ready to offer humanitarian aid "in solidarity with the brotherly Moroccan people, in case the authorities of the Moroccan kingdom express a wish for this," Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune's office said in a statement Saturday.

The statement also offered condolences for the dead and "deepest compassion" for the injured.

The death toll in the earthquake near Marrakech has reached 1,037, according to the Associated Press. More than 1,204 others are injured, 721 of whom are injured critically.

Morocco's King Mohammed VI ordered the armed forces to mobilize air and land assets, specialized search and rescue teams and a surgical field hospital, according to AP. But, the Moroccan government has not formally asked for assistance, which is required for outside rescue teams to be deployed, according to AP.
