Earthquake in Morocco traps Sheffield couple

Mr Smith said he was frightened when the shaking started.

“We were getting ready to go to sleep,” he said, when the glass started shaking.

Mr Smith said that he and his girlfriend, along with some other people, were standing near the hotel entrance when a second earthquake happened.

“He said we really looked hard for people who could speak English, but we could only find a few who spoke English poorly. ”

We waited to see if the building would stay strong, and then hurried to get our medicine and bedding because we thought we might have to sleep in the parking lot for the night.


The center of the earthquake was in a faraway mountain area southwest of Marrakesh. People said that entire villages in that area were completely destroyed.

According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), over 300,000 people in the region have been impacted.

Mr Smith said that he and his girlfriend were supposed to return home by plane on Monday. He said they were both “pretty safe”.
