Moroccan rescue workers, backed by foreign teams, continued Monday in a race against time to find survivors and provide assistance to hundreds of homeless people whose homes were razed to the ground, more than 48 hours after the earthquake that killed more than 2,100 people. Morocco announced on Sunday evening that it had responded favourably, "at this stage", to offers from four countries "to send search and rescue teams": Spain, Great Britain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. These teams have been in contact with their counterparts in Morocco with a view to coordinating their efforts, the Interior Ministry said in a statement.
