Marruecos se prepara para un fuerte aumento del número de muertos

El camino desde Marrakech hacia las montañas del Atlas es ventoso y todavía hay rocas esparcidas la carretera, pero al menos ahora se han limpiado la mayoría de los escombros y se ha abierto un camino para los rescatistas. Aunque el tiempo se acaba. Moulay Ibrahim, una ciudad de 5.000 habitantes, está cerca del epicentro. Al menos 25 personas fueron asesinadas aquí en sus casas el viernes por la noche. Es posible que los rescatistas todavía estén vivos bajo los ladrillos y las rocas. Conocimos a Mohsin, cuya madre estaba sola en casa cuando los temblores se derrumbaron en su casa. Él espera que, milagrosamente, tal vez ella esté viva. Ella no podía huir, dijo, porque es demasiado mayor. En el edificio contiguo al suyo podría haber dos o tres personas más enterradas. Los residentes dijeron que pudieron escuchar gritos provenientes del interior al día siguiente. Muchos de los edificios de Moulay Ibrahim están construidos simplemente con roca pegada con madera seca. lodo. Estamos encaramados aquí en la ladera de una montaña, así que cuando ocurrió el terremoto, muchos de ellos simplemente se desmoronó. Casi ninguna casa aquí es apta para vivir. Rashida nos dijo que simplemente dormimos afuera, mis dos hijos y yo, que no tenemos otro lugar adonde ir. Los supervivientes parecían conmocionados. Ahmed Bolal nos llevó con cuidado a su casa destrozada. Ha estado en su familia durante generaciones. Él, junto con un hermano y una hermana que ahora viven en Moncton, se criaron aquí. Tengo lagrimas en mis ojos. Aquí es donde creció mi padre. Todo el pueblo es así, dijo. Aquí ha habido rescates, pero también han comenzado los funerales. Con tantas aldeas más pequeñas en estas montañas que sólo ahora tienen acceso, y con los daños posiblemente mucho peor que en Moulay Ibrahim, la preocupación es que el número de muertos aumentará mucho más alto. El gobierno de Marruecos ha comenzado a instalar centros de ayuda con tiendas de campaña y alimentos. Para aquellos que lo han perdido todo y con sus seres queridos desaparecidos, la inmensidad de lo que está que les han quitado es demasiado para comprenderlo. Y Chris, por supuesto, una enorme pérdida de vidas, pero parte de la historia cultural de Marruecos ha también ha sido dañado. Sí, Ian, llevará algún tiempo saber cuán extenso es el daño. La mezquita de Ketubia aquí tiene mil años. Parece haber superado bien este terremoto, pero algunos medios locales lo informan. puede tener daños estructurales. Sabemos que otra mezquita aquí sufrió graves daños, al igual que aquellas muy famosas paredes rojas alrededor de Marrakech también. Pero también existe la resiliencia, ¿sabes? Gran parte de ese daño, muchos de los ladrillos y mortero caídos, ya han sido barrido y los negocios están reabriendo. Ian. Chris Brown informa esta noche desde Marrakech.
