#Morocco #Marrakech #Earthquake

I live on Morocco i assisted 😅 and it was cool 😂 and sad😢 I’m still alive but my house have destroy 😥😥 Look at the proof I speak Arabic سلام المعلكم🇲🇦❤
Not sure if this was an accident. Looks like multiple demolitions.
It's a canon event.
I’ve visited Morocco twice – Marrakesh and Tangier, so
my thoughts are with you during this awful destruction
I was staying in Kathmandu in 2015 when the second of two over 7.2 earthquakes struck. Fortunately the building I was in was well built – I was on the sixth floor having lunch at the time. Being in an earthquake is not an experience I would wish on anyone especially as you never know when a powerful aftershock will happen
Maybe both these countries should stop kowtowing to the capitalist West and abolish prohibitions against use and sale of cannabis
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Proof there is no “loving God”. Stop praying and take action
May Allah see the victims through. Ameen Ya Rahman Ya Raheem
I am supposed to be there next month for the WB and IMF annual conference. It is heartbreaking to see this tragedy happened. I probably have to cancel the trip to Marrakech. But hope the wound will recovered soon.
Lester trying to take credit for others work again.
I have heartily courtesy with the innocent victims but Do these tyrant moroccans forget the atrocities on the poor African migrants their bad deeds are repaying them, getting the fruits of their sown seeds, may the creator give all of us correct knowledge & good sense
Sad to see the destruction but what I don’t see is a lot of steel reinforcement in an earthquake prone zone.
😳😳OVER 800 PEOPLE DEAD From Devastating EARTHQUAKE In Morocco 6.8 on the Richter scale🥲🙏🏽#rip

This is terrible. But I don't get how they can say 1000 people died when this only happened yesterday.
End is coming. Repent before our lord and savior, Flying Toaster
I noticed right of way, no metal bars in the concrete. None, no rebar you get what you pay for I guess. It's a shame that safety is never a priority when they build these structures that will hold people and their lives. Maybe they will remember this and do better.
Send the immigrants there to help clean up ….😊…
🫢 Where do you start? 😢
While 6.8 is a large earthquake, there shouldn't be this level of destruction. Clearly, these houses weren't built with earthquakes in mind. This is no different than what happened in Turkey. Hopefully leadership demands that any new construction follows the latest practices to mitigate the damage from an earthquake.
ahhh "intelligent design" at its finest.
Lord have mercy! Prayers for the survivor's!🙏🏾
Did this happen in Marrakesh?
What city in 🇲🇦 ?
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤👑🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🌹🙏🏻
HOUSES MADE WITH THOSE MATERIALS 🤔
Who is responsible for the earthquake….. Put him in jail….
I send my thoughts, from Switzerland
There's a death count ready in Morocco. Any update on Maui?
レンガや石造りは本当に地震に弱いから…
Isn't it wonderful? These folks are so blessed. Now they can build back better just like the rest of us
Funny how the Lord brings his blessings
Oh mon dieu 😢
as long as its not the U.S I dont care. Us Californians do this all the time so no sympathy from me
