Search for Morocco earthquake survivors continues as flattened towns remain cut off | 7.30

When a 6.8 magnitude earthquake hit Morocco last Friday, entire villages were wiped out in just seconds. The epicentre of the quake was high in the Atlas Mountains - around 70 kilometres south of Marrakesh.

Search and rescue teams are struggling to reach the remote towns scattered throughout the landscape, and the people who live there have been left to dig through the rubble with their bare hands. Their hope of finding survivors is fading with time.

Middle East correspondent Tom Joyner reports from the earthquake zone.
