2. For Moroccan earthquake victims, it “felt like years”: a night of terror and chaos

It was painfully obvious that many people had not survived the night after an earthquake struck Morocco on Saturday as the death toll climbed and rescuers frantically searched for survivors amid the rubble.

Locals in Morocco who felt the earthquake directly reported that as their walls started shaking and everything started falling to the ground, confusion rapidly evolved into panic.

Yasmina Bennani was about to fall asleep on Friday night in Amizmiz, a village near the epicenter that is located around 30 miles south of Marrakech.

“I felt terrorized,” said journalist Bennani, 38, who lives in a clay-brick home like many other residents of the neighborhood. I screamed as I fled from my room and begged my mum to go away.

The trembling caused her kitchen sink and stove to become clogged with dust and dirt, cracked walls, smashed vases and lamps, and sent pieces of ceiling cascading to the floor.

It didn’t last long, but according to Bennani, it felt like years.

She and her mother chose to sleep outside due to their concern for aftershocks, as did many citizens of the towns and cities close to the earthquake’s epicenter in the High Atlas Mountains.

It became brutally obvious that many people had not survived the night as the death toll increased on Saturday and rescue personnel scurried to find survivors in the rubble.

One mother told Moroccan state television, “My husband and four children died.” “Hassan, Ghizlaine, Ilyes, Mustapha, and Ilhem. I lost all I owned. I am alone myself.

Jihane Maftouh, 36, of Agadir, a town on the Atlantic coast west of the earthquake’s epicenter, claimed that she experienced dread and uncertainty as soon as the shaking began.

“We prayed, and we heard things breaking,” Maftouh added. I changed into my clothes, left the house, and didn’t even turn around.

Marrakech resident Yacine Kourkouz told the French television network BFMTV on Saturday that he had gone through “a night of horror.”

Kourkouz claimed he experienced a little tremor late on Friday while eating dinner. He briefly believed the noises were coming from his washing machine. However, the shaking quickly got worse.

According to Kourkouz, “the adrenaline took over,” he told BFMTV. He quickly from his flat on the fourth story, descended the stairs, and entered the street, where other locals had congregated.

More than 1,000 people died in a 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Morocco, leaving a path of devastation.

He remarked, “We glanced at the sight of horror on people’s faces. “Everyone was speechless, and everyone was calling.”

Raja Bouri, 33, a resident of the suburbs of Marrakech, claimed that while her walls had survived the earthquake, her kitchen had been completely destroyed.

“I’ve never felt anything like this in my life,” Bouri added. “I felt as if a plane had crashed on me.”

3. Even while the government works to assist Kota kids, JEE and NEET hopefuls claim that “none of this helps.”

The city in Rajasthan is well-known for being the center for coaching facilities assisting students in preparing for undergraduate entrance exams.

With 23 kids purportedly having committed suicide in Kota this year, the city’s efforts to stop such fatalities have once again come under scrutiny. Many have exhorted the hopefuls there to not be afraid of failure, from the deputy collector to Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar. The police have a specific unit to reach out to applicants, and the Rajasthani government has taken many initiatives to assist the students.

For students preparing for the JEE and NEET undergraduate entrance exams, Kota is recognized as the center of coaching centers. To enroll in some of the finest coaching institutions in the nation, students from all across India swarm to the city.
