HIBAPRESS: Ksar El Kebir witnessed heavy rains in recent hours, turning a number of streets and alleys into pools of water, disrupting traffic and forcing citizens to seek alternative routes, especially in low-lying areas.
Videos and photos circulating on social media showed the direct impact of the rain on the infrastructure, as the problem of rainwater drainage returned to the forefront, with recurring problems in the drainage channels and the fragility of roads after each wave of heavy rainfall. The city's residents expressed their anger at the situation, considering that the problem is no longer only related to the intensity of the rain, but reveals structural imbalances that require radical solutions from the local authorities and the concerned services, instead of being satisfied with temporary interventions that are taken after each rainy wave. In a related context, the discharges of the Loukkos River caused great damage to agricultural farms in Larache and its surroundings, as the torrents flooded many lands allocated to the cultivation of fruits destined for export, after the major dams, headed by the Wadi al-Makhazin dam, reached their full filling level.
