Morocco has evacuated over 50,000 people from the city of Ksar el-Kebir, located in the northwest of the country, due to severe flooding caused by torrential rains that lasted for entire weeks. Residents reported that the city has become a "ghost town," with streets and shops closed, and most people leaving either voluntarily or being evacuated by authorities. They set up temporary shelters and restricted access to the city, while power supply was interrupted in certain areas. The floods were partially caused by water released from the Oued Makhazine dam, which reached maximum capacity. The army intervened with equipment and medical personnel to support rescue operations, and the heavy rains ended a seven-year drought, increasing the reservoir filling rate to nearly 62%.
