00:00 A father and daughter walk through the ruins of the village of Talad and Yaqoub, grieving
00:06 the loss of their home and their loved ones.
00:09 Following Friday's earthquake, which tore through the high Atlas mountains, 19-year-old
00:14 Iman lost 10 of her relatives, including her 12-year-old brother.
00:19 She survived because she was studying in Fez when the quake happened.
00:24 "My brother was a very kind boy.
00:27 All the neighbours knew him and cried over him when he died because whenever anyone asked
00:31 him for something or to do them a favour, he never refused."
00:35 The boy's body was pulled out of the rubble by his father.
00:38 "I took him out from under here.
00:43 I found him lying down.
00:46 As he slept, all the rocks, the bricks and the wood fell on him and the house next door
00:52 collapsed on us and caused his death."
00:57 The 6.8 magnitude quake killed and injured thousands.
01:01 According to Moroccan authorities, it was the country's deadliest since 1960 and most
01:06 powerful since at least 1900.
01:10 With many roads still blocked by landslides, some Moroccan villagers banded together to
01:15 gather supplies to take to remote areas inaccessible by vehicle, as some survivors' frustration
01:21 mounted at the pace of official response.
