Flash floods in Morocco's Safi region have killed at least 37 people after torrential rain hit on Sunday. The floods swept through the port city of Safi, inundating at least 70 homes and blocking access to the city on some roads. Dozens of injured people are receiving hospital treatment, and search and rescue missions are ongoing. The extreme weather, which experts partially attribute to the climate crisis, follows seven years of drought and record-breaking heat in Morocco. The Moroccan weather service forecasts continued rainfall and snowfall in the Atlas mountains.
