The epicentre of the earthquake proved particularly lethal, claiming the lives of 1,351 individuals in the immediate area. Rescuers from Morocco, Spain, various aid groups, and 60 teams from the UK are currently engaged in a desperate search for survivors. Their efforts are focused on reaching the hard-hit remote mountain areas, employing trucks and helicopters to access the most affected regions.
