A powerful earthquake struck central Morocco Friday night, killing at least 820 people.
More than 670 people also have been injured in the tremor, the Moroccan Interior Ministry said on Saturday, according to local media.
The quake seriously damaged buildings, including in the major city of Marrakech, where people spent the night outside for safety reasons.
Heads of governments from all over the world were quick to express solidarity and offer help to Morocco. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who is in India for a G20 summit, said her “heart” was with the Moroccan people.
