Shocking are the images coming from Morocco after the 7.2 magnitude earthquake which has left behind more than a thousand dead and as many wounded according to official figures.

Photos and videos posted on social media show the rubble of houses on the streets of Marrakesh, as well as cars paved with stones.

Almost nothing remains of the village of Adassil in Morocco.

The historic Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech, Morocco, did not collapse despite the collapse of nearby buildings.

At the same time, Moroccans and tourists are lining up in Marrakesh to donate blood for the victims of the earthquake.
