Local authorities in Morocco’s Safi province said at least 21 people have died following exceptional thunderstorms that struck the area late Sunday, triggering sudden and powerful flash floods.

In an updated statement issued Monday, officials said the death toll reflects the latest confirmed figures from the storms that hit the province on Sunday evening, Dec. 14, 2025. The heavy rainfall caused massive flooding within a short period of time, overwhelming several areas.

Authorities said intensive search, rescue and recovery operations are continuing, including efforts to locate possible missing persons. Measures are also being taken to secure affected zones and provide assistance and support to residents impacted by the disaster.

Emergency services, local authorities and civil protection teams remain on high alert as operations continue in areas hardest hit by the floods.
