Ramadan in ruins for Morocco's flood victims

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 16:35:06 +0200

For Ahmed El Habachi, Ramadan has always meant family gatherings and joyous feasts after sunset.

This year, the 37-year-old plasterer breaks his fast on a mat inside a tent, surrounded by flood debris instead of loved ones.

"I'm making do until this crisis passes and we can go back home," he says.

El Habachi is one of thousands displaced after two catastrophic flood emergencies battered northwestern Morocco between December 2025 and February 2026.

The extreme weather exposed the country's acute urban flash-flood vulnerability and pushed major river basins to their limits, leaving families like his homeless during the Muslim holy month.
