According to data from the US Geological Survey, the earthquake's epicentre was situated 71 kilometres southwest of the renowned tourist destination Marrakesh in Morocco.
Even though the quakes were very powerful, people across Turkey are blaming the building practices for converting it into a massive tragedy as several buildings collapsed after the tremors.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's first visit to the affected area came as the outrage intensified because of the tight election that will take place in three months.
