Morocco floods kill four dead and 14 missing
|
[GEOTV] Moroccan authorities reported on Sunday that four people have died and 14 are missing due to flooding triggered by an "exceptional" climate event in the southern regions, reported AFP.
Since heavy rains began on Friday in the province of Tata, about 740 kilometers south of Rabat, the toll could increase, according to a local official who spoke to AFP. The official, who chose to remain anonymous, also noted that floods had swept away eight houses in valleys near Tamanart, a rural area in the Tata region.
Usually arid areas in southern Morocco and Algeria have been drenched in floods caused by massive rainfall since Friday, officials told AFP Sunday.
Areas in southern Morocco have been affected "by an extremely unstable tropical air mass", the front man for the Moroccan General Directorate of Meteorology, Lhoussaine Youabd, told AFP.
