Transcript

00:00 Rescue workers, villagers and journalists run at the moment an aftershock is felt in

00:15 the village near the epicentre of the earthquake that struck Morocco last Friday.

00:21 Search teams are still scouring the rubble in hope of finding survivors.

00:26 Morocco is well past the 72-hour window when rescues are considered most likely, but people

00:32 can still be saved well beyond that period.

00:36 Many of those who have escaped the destruction of their homes stay nearby in makeshift camps.

00:42 To some they are the fortunate ones.

00:46 Many remote communities say they are still waiting for promised aid vehicles to arrive

00:51 with desperately needed food and tents.

00:54 "At the moment, the strength of the Moroccan people is more visible and a little less the

01:00 institutions, but they are working too."

01:03 The Moroccan authorities are galvanising efforts and dropping supplies from the air to remote

01:07 communities until lorries can reach them.

01:10 The aid, which includes tents, is intended to be only temporary.

01:15 Soon the rainy season will start and makeshift shelters will be totally insufficient once

01:19 the weather turns.
