Heavy rains and flooding have caused significant disruptions to essential services, including electricity, drinking water, and telecommunications.
The worst-affected regions are Tata, Tiznit, and Errachidia, where the majority of fatalities occurred. Authorities are still searching for nine missing persons, primarily in Tata, Errachidia, and Taroudant.
The storms have led to the collapse of 40 houses, with 24 being completely destroyed. Additionally, numerous roads have been damaged, causing traffic disruptions. In some areas, the rainfall over the past two days has exceeded the annual average, with particularly high amounts recorded in Tata, Tinghir, Figuig, and Ouarzazate.
The Moroccan government has responded to the crisis by mobilizing emergency resources, including nearly 200 specialists and 96 earth-moving machines. Efforts are underway to reopen blocked roads and restore essential services. The Tata region, which has been hit particularly hard, is receiving special attention and increased resources.
