Islamic Relief has launched an urgent appeal to support communities affected by deadly flooding in Morocco.

Flash floods swept through the coastal province of Safi after heavy rains began on Sunday. At least 37 people have been killed, according to local media, while others are missing.

The torrent swept cars, bins, and debris from the street and washed into at least 70 homes in Safi city centre, the BBC reported. The sudden and massive nature of the flooding overwhelmed the city’s drainage systems, authorities, and locals say.

Authorities and residents have begun clearing debris as search and rescue efforts continue.

Islamic Relief’s response

Islamic Relief’s teams have entered Safi town and are working with a local partner organisation to assess needs.

We plan to deliver essential items such as food, shelter, and hygiene kits to address the most pressing needs of people affected by the devastating flooding.

Islamic Relief began supporting communities in Morocco following a deadly earthquake in 2023.
