Moroccan authorities have moved more than 143,000 people from homes in the northwestern plains of the country as a precaution against flooding after heavy rain, rising rivers, and water released from full dams. The evacuations took place in low-lying areas where water can rise quickly and pose a danger to people and property. Officials used army vehicles and other transport to help residents leave safely, and many people were taken to shelters or safer locations. Schools and universities in the region were closed as authorities continued to warn about the risk of floods. The move was meant to protect lives before flooding becomes more severe. Local leaders said the situation is serious because water levels in rivers are high and the weather could remain unstable for days, increasing the chance of more flooding. Emergency teams are looking at conditions and helping people with supplies and support where needed.

Pray for the success of the effective implementation of precautionary measures to safeguard the safety of the people of Morocco from heavy rain and floods. Pray for divine protection upon all the people in the country during this rainy season (The Holy Bible, Psalm 141:8).

Pray for divine provision for the population affected by the heavy rain and floods in Morocco. Pray for the authorities to expedite the aid distribution for all the flood victims in the country (The Holy Bible, Genesis 22:14).
