Families in Marrakech huddled into the early hours of Sunday, spending a second night on the streets as Morocco's deadliest earthquake in more than half a century left many fearing their homes were no longer safe to return to. Uncertainty gripped many in Marrakech, some 70 km (45 miles) northeast of the epicentre, as they worried the quake that has killed more than 2,000 may have damaged their homes or that an aftershock could destroy them in the coming hours or days. Since Friday's quake, the north African country's worst since 1960, Mouhamad Ayat Elhaj, 51, has slept on the streets with his family nearby the city's historic medina after finding signs of damage to his home, including cracks in the walls.
