Several Unesco World Heritage sites have been severely damaged by the recent earthquake in Morocco. [...]

Following the 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Morocco's Marrakesh–Safi region on September 8, the assessment of devastation — both human and cultural — continues.
As The Art Newspaper reports, several significant heritage sites have been severely damaged or almost entirely destroyed, including the 12th-century Great Mosque of Tinmal as well as Marrakesh's historic Kharbouch and Kutubiyya mosques.
Authorities have confirmed over 2,900 deaths, with thousands more injured and without shelter.
