Heavy rainfall in Morocco struck large swathes of the country, triggering flash floods that took the lives of five people, local media reported Friday. A family of three were killed in the holiday resort of Agadir, when their car was swept away by flood waters.
A Spanish woman drowned when the vehicle she was travelling in was caught in floods in the Chichaoua region between Essaouira and Marrakesh. Her Moroccan husband and child were both rescued. Near Taza in the country's north-east, a young woman died trying to swim across a flooded valley. In Casablanca and Marrakesh, more than a dozen people were injured when their homes were demolished by floods, and entire neighbourhoods in the towns of Tangiers and Tetouan in the country's north also found themselves underwater.
