More than 140 000 people in total have been evacuated as authorities attempt to bring the population to safety following disastrous downpours in the north of the country.<\/p>\n
Several provinces in northern Morocco were placed in weather alert warnings by authorities after heavy downpours over the past days flooded large parts of the zone.<\/p>\n
Around 140 000 inhabitants in total were evacuated to rescue them from flooding.<\/p>\n
But for some, the precautionary measures came too late. In Ksar El-K\u00e9bir, several residents had to be rescued from roofs after the water levels rose quickly.<\/p>\n
The rain notably led the water level of Wadi Al-Makhazin Dam to rise significantly. The increase is due to strong inflows from the Loukkos River basin, raising concerns about potential flooding in nearby areas.<\/p>\n
Local authorities are closely monitoring the situation and managing water releases to reduce pressure on the dam and protect downstream communities.<\/p>\n
Authorities and emergency services have also launched aerial operations to ensure the delivery of essential supplies, including food and drinking water, while assessment teams continue to monitor the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than 140 000 people in total have been evacuated as authorities attempt to bring the population to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":456818,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[192,79],"class_list":["post-456817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
