Rescue teams in Morocco continued their efforts on Tuesday to search for survivors in the wake of the Sept. 8 deadly earthquake that killed thousands.
According to Anadolu reporter, Moroccan authorities distributed aid and tents to people affected by the quake.
On Monday, students returned to schools in quake-hit areas. Tents were set up in Marrakech city to accommodate around 6,000 students.
In a statement, the Ministry of Education said first classes were allocated for providing psychological support to students affected by the quake.

Last week, the Moroccan Royal Court said 50,000 houses have collapsed completely or partially from the deadly earthquake.
In a statement, the court said direct financial assistance of 140,000 dirhams (about $14,000) will be granted for totally collapsed buildings, and 80,000 dirhams (some $8,000) for partially collapsed houses.
