On 8 September 2023 at 23:11 DST (22:11 UTC), an earthquake with a moment magnitude of 6.8–6.9 and maximum Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent) struck Morocco's Marrakesh–Safi region. The earthquake's epicenter was located 73.4 km (45.6 mi) southwest of Marrakesh, near the town of Ighil[1] and the Oukaïmeden ski resort in the Atlas Mountains.[2] It occurred as a result of shallow oblique-thrust faulting beneath the mountain range. At least 2,901 deaths were reported, with most occurring outside Marrakesh. Damage was widespread, and historic landmarks in Marrakesh were destroyed.[3] The earthquake was also felt in Spain, Portugal, and Algeria.[4][5][6]
