Footage features a group of volunteers gathering bags filled with vital aid items.
"We are collecting food and above all hygiene products to be able to send them to those affected by the earthquake, basically what we are looking for is clothes, also many warm things because at night it is very cold in certain areas, even gloves, coats, all these kinds of things, also children's products, medicines, nappies and underwear too," said Mirella, one of the volunteers.
"There is nothing [left]! These are areas that are totally devastated and we want to help a little bit with what we can," she added.
According to Moroccan media, the death toll across the country passed 2,900, with 2,501 reportedly injured after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit late on Friday night.
Since many of the affected areas are inaccessible mountainous regions, an estimate of the number of missing persons has not been released by the Moroccan government yet.
Friday’s earthquake was the worst to strike Morocco since 1960 when at least 12,000 people died in a 5.8-magnitude tremor in Agadir.
