The strong winds that Al Hoceima city experienced on Wednesday evening caused the collapse of the wall of the Spanish Institute, located in the city center, adjacent to Mohammed VI Square.
According to preliminary data, the collapsed wall was exposed to the pressure of the strong winds, which led to its sudden collapse. Fortunately, no human injuries were recorded, while the incident caused limited material damage.
Immediately after the incident, the local authorities and civil defense elements arrived at the scene, where the surroundings were secured and pedestrians were prevented from passing to avoid any potential risks, in addition to opening an investigation to determine the circumstances of the incident and assess the condition of the remaining adjacent buildings.
This incident comes in the context of weather fluctuations and strong winds that the region is experiencing, which brings to the forefront the demand for monitoring buildings and walls that are about to collapse, especially those close to educational institutions and public spaces, in the interest of the safety of citizens.
