Morocco’s national railway operator announced Friday that residents of the flood-affected city of Ksar El Kebir will be able to travel free of charge by train to destinations across the country, as part of emergency measures to support affected populations.

The National Railways Office (ONCF) said the decision aims to facilitate mobility and ensure the safety of residents amid difficult conditions caused by rising water levels and flooding in several neighborhoods of the city.

Authorities have been implementing exceptional measures as Ksar El Kebir continues to face severe flooding linked to heavy rainfall and rising river levels in northern Morocco.

ONCF said the free travel measure forms part of broader efforts to mitigate the impact of the ongoing emergency and support citizens during the crisis.
