Challenge
Many of the fatalities have taken place in hard-to-reach mountainous areas, with the epicenter of the earthquake located near the town of Ighil in the High Atlas Mountains, about 72 kilometers southwest of the city of Marrakesh. This quake was the strongest to hit this part of the North African nation in more than 120 years and the impact has been catastrophic with buildings destroyed and already impoverished families left with nothing.
