At least 41 people have died in devastating flash floods across Morocco, with emergency response teams scrambling to address widespread damage and disruptions. The Atlantic coastal province of Safi reported 37 fatalities and 14 injuries after intense thunderstorms triggered torrential rains on Sunday, submerging homes, overturning vehicles, and crippling infrastructure.
In Tinghir province, four individuals perished when their vehicle was swept into a river by powerful currents. Authorities have closed schools in four provinces and launched large-scale rescue operations amid forecasts of additional rainfall this week.
Moroccan officials warn that recovery efforts could be hampered by ongoing adverse weather conditions, urging residents in affected areas to exercise extreme caution. The floods have highlighted vulnerabilities in regional infrastructure as climate-related disasters intensify globally.
