Rescue workers are scrambling to reach remote villages in the Atlas mountains after Friday's earthquake killed nearly 2,000 people.

Earlier on Saturday, soldiers from Morocco's Royal Armed Forces reached the mountain village of Tafeghaghte, southwest of Marrakech, where many houses crumbled during the quake.
