🌧️ Nature's fury struck over the weekend as torrential rains drenched North Africa's usually arid mountains and deserts. The unexpected downpour led to catastrophic floods in Morocco and Algeria, claiming the lives of over 20 people and leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
In Morocco, officials reported that the two-day storm shattered historical records 📈, with rainfall surpassing annual averages in just 48 hours! Some regions hit hardest were the same areas recovering from a deadly earthquake one year ago, compounding the community's challenges.
