Heavy rains in northern Morocco have pushed authorities in Ksar El Kebir to raise the flood alert to maximum, with the swollen Loukkos River threatening multiple neighbourhoods. Days of intense rainfall have flooded streets and low‑lying homes in the province of Larache, prompting a full mobilisation of local authorities, security services, utilities, and emergency teams. Sand barriers have been installed along the riverfront homes, while Governor Bouassam El Alamine inspects weak points along the river and oversees emergency measures. Rising river levels are overwhelming Ksar El Kebir’s drainage system; extra teams and pumps have been deployed to stop wastewater from backing up into homes. Northwestern Morocco is experiencing swollen rivers and flooding in several towns; as a precaution, Tétouan–Sania R’mel Airport was temporarily closed from Thursday for safety checks.
