Morocco launched a nationwide emergency relief operation on Tuesday, December 17, 2025, to assist approximately 73,000 households in 28 provinces affected by severe winter weather. The aid program distributes food and blankets to families impacted by freezing conditions, torrential rains, and snowstorms. This initiative follows a deadly flash flood in the coastal city of Safi on Sunday, which resulted in 37 fatalities and significant damage to homes and businesses. The flooding in Safi, where water levels reached up to four meters, prompted school closures and left many residents displaced and in need of assistance. Weather officials have warned that dangerous conditions are expected to continue in the coming days.
