Five days after a deadly 6.8 magnitude earthquake in Morocco that killed at least 2,900, survivors are still spending their nights sleeping outside in makeshift shelters after losing their homes.

Overnight, those without tents slept under blankets on the ground, or in the remnants of damaged structures, cooking in the open from the aid packages that had been distributed.

German-born Moroccan Atik Azzouzi, cut short his vacation in the city of Nador to volunteer with a German aid organization to help those in need.

“My first thought was, what can we do, how can I help?” Azzouzi said.

While the death toll begins to slow, as search operations become increasingly difficult for emergency services, the number of people injured has more than doubled to at least 5,530, officials reported Wednesday.
