Rescue teams in Morocco’s Tinghir province recovered the body of one person Sunday after flash floods swept away a vehicle, while the search continued for two others, local authorities said.

The victim was found Sunday evening in the area between Fezou and Al-Hafira after powerful floodwaters hit the province earlier in the day. The search teams include local authorities, the Royal Gendarmerie, civil protection services and auxiliary forces.

According to local sources, the floods carried away a car transporting three people from the Sidi Ali area. One body has been recovered, while efforts are ongoing to locate the remaining two passengers.

Search operations are continuing under difficult weather conditions, following instructions from the provincial governor, who is closely monitoring the rescue efforts, officials said.

Authorities urged residents to exercise caution as heavy rainfall persists in the region. Tinghir province has experienced significant rainfall over the past two days, leading to flash floods and strong runoff in several areas.
