In the nearly two days since a deadly earthquake killed more than 2,000 people in Morocco, Montreal's Café Amistad has become a gathering place for people seeking answers and support. The city is home to the largest Moroccan diaspora in Canada.
Newfoundland mayor in Marrakech 'very lucky' to avoid worst of 6.8 magnitude earthquakePeople walk through the wreckage caused by the earthquake in the town of Amizmiz, near Marrakech, Morocco, on Sunday.
"Everything was upside down," Zouhir said in an interview Sunday. "We were looking for information at any price." At last count, state officials reported 2,122 deaths and 2,421 people injured after Morocco was shaken by a 6.8 magnitude earthquake late Friday, about 70 kilometres south of Marrakech. "My heart breaks for the people of Morocco, following yesterday's devastating earthquake," Trudeau wrote Saturday on X, formerly known as Twitter. "To those who lost loved ones: Canadians are sending you our deepest condolences."
John Norman, the mayor of Bonavista, N.L., said he was getting ready for bed on Friday when the room began to shake. Though it started slowly, he said the large jolts began within seconds.
