Britain said on Sunday that it was
deploying search and rescue teams to Morocco following the 6.8

Friday.
“Sixty UK search and rescue specialists, four search dogs
and rescue equipment deployed to Morocco,” Britain’s Foreign,
Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said in a statement,
adding that it was deploying the rescue team on Sunday via two
Royal air Force A400M aircraft.
“Foreign Secretary has spoken to Foreign Minister (Nasser)
