Over the weekend, North Africa experienced unprecedented torrential downpours that led to devastating flooding in Morocco and Algeria. The storms, which were unusually severe for the region, resulted in the loss of nearly two dozen lives and caused significant damage to homes and critical infrastructure.
In Morocco, officials reported that the two days of relentless rain exceeded historical averages, surpassing even the annual average rainfall in some areas. This extreme weather event impacted regions that had previously been affected by a deadly earthquake just one year ago.
