Morocco will spend 167b dirhams on flood recovery, Prime Minister Abbas El Fassi announced on Thursday (April 8th). The funds will assist farmers who lost livestock and crops from the catastrophic flooding in the Gharb and Souss regions, repair flood-ravaged roads and bridges and provide financial assistance to affected households. The government also plans to build nearly two dozen dams to protect areas threatened by future flooding, Secretary of State for Water and Environment Abdelkébir Zahoud said Thursday. More than 150,000 hectares of farmland were flooded, some 2,650 homes were destroyed and at least eleven people were killed as a result of the record-setting rainfall this year.
