Tiniskt, a village in Morocco's Atlas Mountains, was devastated by a 6.8-magnitude earthquake on September 8, resulting in the death of over 50 of its 330 residents. Survivors are now living in government-provided tents, sharing communal meals and resources. Personal stories of loss and resilience emerge, such as Zahra Ait Tagadirt, who lost her children, and Hassan Ait Lemachi, who lost his wife and daughter. Despite the tragedy, the community is determined to rebuild, with aid announced by King Mohammed VI and local initiatives to provide basic amenities.

Morocco's earthquake death toll nears 3,000, with international rescuers facing challenges reaching remote areas. Villages in the High Atlas Mountains are devastated, and the Moroccan government accepts foreign aid from Spain, UAE, Qatar, and Britain. Germany's assistance offer is met with silence. Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch vows to expedite crisis management and support affected citizens, with plans for reconstruction and compensation. King Mohammed VI has not publicly addressed the disaster. Rescue efforts are a mix of military, civil defense, and volunteers, with many locals digging through rubble. In Asni, a military field hospital is set up, and in Elbour, military rescuers work to recover bodies. The village of Talat N’Yaaqoub is severely damaged, with rescue efforts turning into a recovery mission.

Said Afouzar, while at his sister's house in Amizmiz, Morocco, experienced an earthquake that caused his home to collapse as he attempted to enter. He heard his family's cries from under the rubble and, with the help of neighbors, managed to rescue his wife three hours after the quake and his children by 10 a.m. the following Saturday.
