In a tragic twist of climate extremes, torrential rains pummeled North Africa’s typically dry landscapes over the weekend, unleashing deadly floods that claimed over 20 lives in Morocco and Algeria. 🏜️→🌊 The storms transformed arid mountain valleys into raging waterways, destroying homes, roads, and critical infrastructure—a stark reminder of nature’s unpredictability.
Moroccan officials reported rainfall levels surpassing historic averages, with some areas seeing an entire year’s rain in just two days. Among the hardest-hit zones were regions still recovering from last year’s catastrophic earthquake, compounding challenges for communities already grappling with trauma. In Algeria, emergency teams raced to rescue stranded residents as rivers overflowed and landslides cut off villages.
Experts warn that such extreme weather events may become more frequent due to shifting climate patterns. 🌍🔍 'This isn’t just rain—it’s a wake-up call,' said one local volunteer. As global youth demand climate action, disasters like these spotlight the urgent need for resilient infrastructure in vulnerable regions.
