Hopes were dimming on Tuesday in Morocco's desperate search for survivors, four days after a powerful earthquake killed more than 2,800 people, most of them in remote villages in the High Atlas Mountains.
At least 2,681 people died in the strongest-ever earthquake to hit Morocco, the interior ministry said on Monday, revising an earlier toll of nearly 2,500 dead.
Using heavy equipment and even their bare hands, rescuers in Morocco on Sunday stepped up efforts to find survivors of a devastating earthquake that killed more than 2,100 people and flattened villages.
