A teacher tells the BBC all 32 of her pupils died after tremors struck a mountain village.

The thoughts of one Moroccan schoolteacher immediately turned to her pupils when she felt the 6.8-magnitude earthquake strike a week ago.

"I imagined holding my class's attendance sheet and putting a line through one student's name after another, until I had scratched off 32 names; they are all now dead," she told the BBC.Ms ElFadel describes her lost students - seen here before the earthquake - as "angels" "Khadija was my favourite. She was very nice, smart, active and loved to sing. She used to come to my house, and I loved studying and talking to her."
