Tragedy struck Morocco on Thursday as flash floods claimed the life of a young girl in Berkane, while search efforts intensify for a missing eight-year-old boy swept away in a separate incident in the Fkih Ben Saleh province.

In Berkane, the body of the girl was recovered after a seven-hour search following intense rainfall in the Eastern region. The young victim was tragically pulled into a rainwater drain by the floodwaters. Rescue teams consisting of civil protection forces, local and security authorities, and citizen volunteers located her body in the Charra’a Valley, on the outskirts of the city.

As the community mourns this loss, a separate rescue operation is underway in the Fkih Ben Saleh province, where an eight-year-old boy remains missing after being swept away by floodwaters in the Had Boumoussa commune. The young boy was en route to his primary school when he reportedly slipped into a powerful waterway.
