Rabat – In an attempt to reach remote areas hit by the devastating Friday earthquake, Morocco’s Military has set up a makeshift medical facility in the Al Haouz region, the epicenter of the earthquake.
The hospital was set up early on Monday, Qamouss Yousse, head of the hospital told Al Jazeera.
According to Yousse, the hospital now has a team of 24 doctors, 46 nurses, and 58 specialists in social and psychological support, all from the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces.
As rescue operations continue to unfold, remote areas appear to be the most affected by the earthquake as most villages report not receiving any rescue missions or assistance.
In addition to being in remote areas, the village was further isolated as mountainous areas collapsed on roads.
Residents of remote villages are sending out cries for help on social media, saying that since the earthquake struck, they haven’t received any rescue mission and that they are left without food or shelter.
As of Monday morning, the death toll soared to over 2,400, and it is expected to increase as rescue operations reach remote villages. The number of injured also jumped to over 2,000 in the latest estimates.
