Moroccans Sleep In Streets After Devastating Earthquake

AMIZMIZ, Morocco (AP) — People in Morocco are sleeping in the streets of Marrakech for a third straight night as soldiers and international aid teams in trucks and helicopters begin to fan into remote mountain towns hit hardest by a historic earthquake. The disaster killed more than 2,100 people — a number that is expected to rise — and the United Nations estimated that 300,000 people were affected the magnitude 6.8 quake. Amid offers from several countries, Moroccan officials said they are accepting international aid from just four countries: Spain, Qatar, Britain and the United Arab Emirates. Some foreign search-and-rescue teams arrived on Sunday as an aftershock rattled Moroccans already in mourning and shock.
