🇲🇦 Flooding Caused by the Sebou River Overflowing Its Banks
🌊 On January 27, 2026, the Sebou River in Morocco overflowed its banks, causing flooding in surrounding areas. Water inundated agricultural land, roads, and low-lying settlements, leading to transport disruptions and localized damage to infrastructure.
The river overflow was triggered by heavy rainfall, which caused a sharp rise in water levels across the Sebou basin. Local authorities and emergency services monitored the situation and implemented measures to mitigate the impact of the flooding.
The flooding highlights the vulnerability of North African regions to abrupt hydrological changes, whose frequency and intensity are increasingly linked to climate change.
