RABAT: The death toll from flash floods that hit the Moroccan coastal town of Safi over the weekend rose to 37, local authorities said on Monday. “Fourteen people are currently being treated at Mohammed V hospital in Safi, including two in intensive care,” local authorities added in their statement.
Search and rescue operations continued on Monday, after the deadliest such severe weather event in Morocco in over a decade. Images on social media showed a torrent of muddy water sweeping cars and rubbish bins from the streets in Safi, which sits around 300-kms south of the capital Rabat.
