The Director of the National Institute of Geophysics stated that “tremors could continue for a few weeks,” but that “more than 95% of residents will not feel them, except on a few occasions.”
On the outskirts of Marrakech, minor aftershocks continued to be registered last night. The magnitude ranged from weakly unnoticeable to somewhat perceptible.
Jabour told Hespress that “The recorded tremors are mild, slightly felt compared to previous ones.”
The greatest tremor since Friday, which occurred yesterday, registered 3.1 on the Richter scale, in comparison to other tremors that were recorded since September 9, which ranged between 2.7 and 2.4.
“We hope that there won’t be a strong earthquake that causes panic and forces people out of their homes in the future,” he continued.
As of right now, Moroccan officials are still working to rescue and evacuate the injured and organize all available resources to deal with the consequences of the earthquake.
As of the most recent earthquake toll on Tuesday, September 12, the number of deaths caused by the earthquake in the Al Haouz province reached 2,901 people, 2,884 of whom were buried.
While the number of wounded reached 5,530 people, announced the Moroccan Ministry of the Interior in a statement.
