Rabat – Authorities in Morocco’s northern city of Ksar El Kebir have raised the alert level to maximum as heavy rainfall continues to push up water levels in the Loukkos River, which increases the risk of flooding in several neighborhoods. Floodwaters have already reached streets and entered nearby homes in some low-lying areas of Ksar El Kebir, which caused concern among residents. Provincial governor Bouassam El Alamine has been carrying out field visits since Tuesday to inspect sensitive points along the Loukkos River and oversee emergency measures on the ground. According to the Loukkos River Basin Agency, the province of Larache has recorded exceptionally high rainfall this season, with accumulated precipitation exceeding 600 millimeters since September. The rising river levels have also disrupted Ksar El Kebir’s drainage system.
