Moroccans on Sunday mourned the victims of a devastating earthquake that killed more than 2,000 people as rescue teams raced to find survivors trapped under the rubble of flattened villages. The strongest-ever quake recorded in the North African country has killed at least 2,012 people and injured over 2,000, many seriously, according to the latest official figures. “I can’t do anything about it now, I just want to get away from the world and mourn,” he said. US Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer said: “We’ve got search and rescue teams ready to deploy… We are also ready to release funds at the right time.”Spain meanwhile said it would send search and rescue teams and other aid after it received a formal request for help from Rabat. The quake was the deadliest in Morocco since a 1960 tremor destroyed Agadir, a disaster in which more than 12,000 people died.
