Minister Shows Solidarity with Flood-Hit Communities in Ouarzazate
Ouarzazate, Morocco – In a heartfelt display of support, Mohamed Sadiki, Minister of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development, Water and Forests, visited the province of Ouarzazate on Tuesday, September 10th, 2024. The purpose of his visit was to personally assess the damage caused by recent floods and offer reassurance to the affected communities.
Flooding is a recurring challenge in Morocco, often impacting vulnerable rural communities. The country’s varied topography, ranging from the Atlas Mountains to coastal plains, makes it susceptible to extreme weather events. These events are becoming increasingly unpredictable and severe, likely exacerbated by climate change.
Minister Sadiki’s visit, dubbed “Men on the Ground,” underscores the government’s commitment to standing with its citizens during times of crisis. His presence on the ground, meeting with those impacted by the floods, sends a powerful message of solidarity and support.
While details of the Minister’s visit and any planned relief efforts are still emerging, his presence in Ouarzazate serves as a reminder of the importance of swift action and community resilience in the face of natural disasters.
