Northern Morocco is on high alert as authorities monitor severe weather conditions in southern Spain, where recent floods in Malaga followed a deadly storm in Valencia that claimed 223 lives, including Moroccan victims.

Tangier Mayor Mounir Laymouri confirmed to Hespress that emergency teams are working around the clock to maintain drainage systems and prepare heavy machinery for potential flooding.

“We received warnings from authorities that this weekend could see significant rainfall, highlighting the sensitivity and seriousness of the situation,” Laymouri noted.

Northern Morocco residents remain on edge, closely monitoring the severe flooding in Spain due to its devastating impact on lives and property, especially with the significant presence of Moroccan migrants from the region living in the neighboring country.
