Satellite images of mountain villages reveal the widespread damage.

New satellite photos have revealed the devastating impact of Friday's earthquake on rural communities in Morocco.

It is around 60km from Marrakesh and, like many of the areas which have been badly affected, is accessible only by a narrow, dusty track. Satellite images show that in one area nearly half of the buildings appear to have completely collapsed.
