The 6.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Morocco a week ago killed thousands and devastated the country. Sad stories have been reported, one of which is the story of a teacher who lost all 32 of her students in the devastating earthquake.

Nesreen Abu ElFadel was in Marrakesh, but Adaseel, the mountain village where her school and students' homes were located, was closer to the epicenter.

The Arabic and French language teacher returned to Adaseel where she went to look for the children.

She found that 32 of them, aged 6 to 12, had lost their lives.

"I went to the village and started asking about my children: "Where is Somaya? Where is Youssef? where is this girl Where is that boy?” The answer came a few hours later: 'They are all dead.'

"I imagined holding my class attendance sheet and putting a line through the names of one student after another, until I had scratched out 32 names, they are now all dead," she told the BBC .

They were among almost 3,000 people killed by the strongest earthquake ever recorded in Morocco, which struck on the evening of September 8.

The hardest hit areas were south of Marrakesh, where many mountain villages were completely destroyed./ CNA
