Three days of mourning have been declared in Morocco following Friday's devastating earthquake, as the death toll continues to climb.

Almost 2,700 people are thought to have been killed, and some of the heaviest casualties are in areas just south of Marrakech.

Meanwhile, thousands of survivors are awaiting essential supplies as aid groups struggle to reach isolated areas.
