Moroccan villagers in the Atlas mountains have been left to dig for earthquake survivors by hand, as the government comes under fire for accepting aid from only select countries.

Almost 3,000 people are confirmed dead after the magnitude 6.8 quake struck over the weekend, and more than 5,500 are injured.
