Watch live from Morocco after deadliest earthquake in over six decades

Watch live from Morocco on Wednesday, 13 September, after the deadliest earthquake in over six decades. The disaster has devastated villages in the High Atlas Mountains, leaving at least 2,900 people dead and injuring more than 2,000 others. More than 5,000 people are missing. As of Tuesday, more than 240 people were being treated at hospitals in the Marrakech region. Parts of the walls that surround Marrakech’s old city, a Unesco World Heritage site from the 12th century, have been damaged. President Enaam Mayara has estimated that it could take up to six years to rebuild some of the areas worst affected by the earthquake. Seismological expert Remy Mossu told Sky News that aftershocks will continue to rock Morocco weeks or months after the 6.8-magnitude earthquake, and that more than 25 aftershocks have already hit. Emergency services, including firefighters from Manchester , have travelled to Morocco to help with rescue efforts as part of the UK International Search and Rescue team.
