A strong earthquake of magnitude 6.8 has struck central Morocco, injuring at least 1,000 people, and causing damage in several areas.
The epicentre was in the High Atlas Mountains, 71km south-west of Marrakesh, at a depth of 18.5km.
Many people spent the night out in the open as the Moroccan government had warned them not to go back into their homes in case of severe aftershocks.
Hospitals in Marrakesh have seen an influx of injured people, and the authorities have called on residents to donate blood.
There are also reports of families trapped under the rubble of their homes in the city, and damage to parts of the Medina, a Unesco World heritage Site.
