10 workers have been rescued so far, and the operation to rescue the possible trapped workers inside the factory is going on.

It is not yet clear that how many people were inside the factory when the incident took place.

The laborers work at grave risk under in very large numbers. At least, one-fifth of the nonagricultural economic activity in Morocco is represented by the 'informal labor sector.'
