At least 37 people have been killed in flash floods triggered by torrential rain in Morocco's Atlantic coastal province of Safi, Moroccan authorities said on Monday (15 December).
Fourteen people were still receiving medical care, including two who were in intensive care, they said in a statement.
Heavy rain on Sunday (14 December) flooded homes and shops in the old town of the port city of Safi, swept away cars and cut many roads in and around the city about 300 km (205 miles) south of the Moroccan capital, Rabat.
Schools were suspended in the city on Monday as residents assessed damage and cleaned flooded homes.
Videos shared by local media showed flooded streets and swamped cars in the old town, as well as authorities using boats in rescue operations.
Authorities said at least 70 homes and shops had been flooded.
