Villagers say they "have nothing left" as volunteers privately deliver aid from across Morocco

The main thoroughfare through the southwest part of the Atlas Mountains was full of traffic on Monday morning, as heavy machinery and trucks transported aid to the areas most impacted by the earthquake. 

A government-run tent camp in the town of Asni has swelled overnight, with many more tents and makeshift facilities being built. 

But much of the help directed to these areas is privately organized by small groups of volunteers from across the country. 

Abdelali Amzil, 34, and his neighbours loaded a van with food and water and drove it to the mountains from the coastal city of Casablanca, about 300 kilometers (186 miles) away. 

They brought some of the supplies to a village in Ouirgane that was completely destroyed by the quake.

Half the residents of the village are now camping out in a little grove just off the main road. About 300 people are staying here, according to Hmed Elmouden, one of the locals. 

His house is now just a pile of rubble and he and his family are grieving his sister-in-law, who was one of the 30 people killed in this village. 

Many people have died in Ouirgane, so everyone here knows someone who was killed. The families left behind are huddled together sharing food and water, grieving as a community. 

We have nothing left, the house is completely gone,” Elmouden told CNN. “I have no idea what will happen next. Rebuilding takes a long time, look at Turkey,” he said.
