 Flash flood kill 41 in Morocco


At least 41 people were killed in flash floods caused by heavy rainfall in Morocco on Sunday, authorities said on Monday.


In the Atlantic coastal province of Safi, local authorities said in a statement that the death toll had risen to 37, with 14 injured people receiving treatment at local hospitals.


In the southern province of Tinghir, four people were killed after their vehicle was swept away by strong currents and overturned into a river between the areas of Fezou and El Hafira, local news outlet Hibapress reported.


The statement said the floods in Safi were caused by intense thunderstorms that occurred within about one hour.


Dozens of homes and shops in the city of Safi were flooded, while vehicles were overturned or washed away by torrents. Roads were also damaged, leading to widespread traffic disruptions.


Moroccan authorities warned that more rainfall is expected in the coming days. Schools in four provinces were closed on Monday, and large-scale emergency response operations were launched.
