Moroccans wait in long lines to donate blood in Marrakech

Large lines are forming outside a blood transfusion centre in Marrakech as the death toll mounts from Friday night's earthquake. 

Earlier, Dr Hesham Kharmoudi from Marrakech told Al Jazeera that hospitals were running out of blood bag reserves and urged people to give blood. 

"All medical personnel and departments have been prepared [for disasters]. The only problem is running out of blood bag reserves, so we call on the people to donate blood.”
