A powerful earthquake shook Morocco on September 9, leading to a tragic death toll exceeding 2,000, as reported by the country's Interior Ministry.
The most severe casualties occurred in provinces located just south of Marrakesh. However, the intense tremors were also felt in the capital city of Rabat, approximately 350 kilometers away, as well as in Casablanca, Agadir, and Essaouira.
In an exclusive account, a CGTN stringer based in Marrakesh, the nearest major city to the earthquake's epicenter, shared their harrowing experience during the quake and the ensuing aftermath. The stringer's firsthand testimony highlights the resilience and challenges faced by residents in the wake of such a natural disaster.
