Rescuers in Morocco have been using their bare hands as desperate search efforts continue for survivors of Friday’s powerful earthquake.

A total of 2,681 people are known to have died in the tremor – the country’s deadliest in 60 years.

Morocco’s government is under pressure to accept more international aid, as rescuers battle with exhaustion.

The 6.8 magnitude tremor hit the High Atlas mountains south of Marrakesh, and destroyed many rural and remote villages.
