Moroccans return home as waters recede

Moroccan authorities began organising the gradual return of ​residents to the ​city of Ksar El Kebir and other flood-hit northwestern areas as weather conditions improved. Authorities backed by the army had helped evacuate 188,000 people since early February to protect them from overflowing river ⁠waters that swept across 110,000 hectares in the northwest. Most residents ⁠of Ksar El Kebir, 213 km north of Rabat, are now allowed to return home. — Reuters
