Tragic balance/ The number of victims from the catastrophic earthquake in

The death toll from the Morocco earthquake has risen to 1,037, with more than 1,200 injured, the Associated Press (AP) reports.

A local official said most of the deaths were in mountainous areas that were difficult to reach.

It was Morocco's deadliest since at least a 2004 tremor in the northern Rif mountains that killed more than 600 people.

Scientists said the quake, which was centered in Ighil, had a magnitude of at least 6.8, although some readings put it higher. It was said to be a relatively shallow earthquake - usually the most destructive kind.

In Marrakech, several buildings in the old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, have been damaged or destroyed.

Several world leaders, including Emmanuel Macron, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Narendra Modi and Olaf Scholz have sent messages of support./ CNA
