Local authorities in Morocco’s Midelt province intervened to assist five nomadic families who were stranded in a mountainous area of Ait Yahya commune after heavy snowfall over the past several hours, officials said.
A local committee composed of representatives from local authorities, the Royal Gendarmerie, auxiliary forces and civil protection services traveled to the site to assess the situation and take emergency measures to ensure the families’ safety.
According to a local source, several members of the affected families were transported to safer areas, while emergency assistance, including blankets and basic food supplies, was distributed. Authorities continue to monitor conditions in the area in case further intervention becomes necessary.
Mountainous regions in the High and Middle Atlas frequently experience severe weather disruptions during the winter months, often requiring precautionary measures to prevent isolation and protect nomadic populations.
