The toll is expected to rise as rescuers  struggle to reach the remote areas that have been hit hardest.

The famous Koutoubia Mosque, in Marrakech, built in the 12th century, suffered damage, but the extent was not immediately clear.

Moroccans also posted videos showing damage to parts of the famous red walls that surround the old city, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
