Morocco's royal court has declared three days of national mourning following the deadly 6.8-magnitude earthquake.
"Three days of national mourning have been decided, with flags to fly at half-mast on all public buildings," said a statement published on Saturday evening by the official MAP news agency after King Mohamed VI chaired a meeting to discuss the disaster.
