The local authorities in the Sidi Kacem province began, on Monday, the implementation of the second phase of the program for the return of citizens who were temporarily evacuated following the exceptional climatic disturbances, to their homes after the improvement of weather conditions and the decrease in the water level that flooded a number of areas in the province.
The families concerned with this phase of the return program began, from the early hours of this morning, preparing to leave the temporary shelter in the city of Sidi Kacem towards the communities and villages that the local authorities have identified.
