Morocco Earthquake LIVE: Powerful 7.3 magnitude earthquake hits Morocco causing deaths, damage

A powerful earthquake in Morocco's High Atlas mountains toppled buildings and sent people fleeing their homes in several cities late on Friday, residents said, and a local official said hundreds of people had been killed.

Residents of Marrakech, the nearest major city to the epicentre, said some buildings had collapsed in the old city, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and local television showed pictures of a fallen mosque minaret with rubble lying on smashed cars.
