Thousands of residents in Morocco's Kenitra region and the town of Ksar El Kebir in Larache province were evacuated on February 9, 2026, due to heavy flooding triggered by recent intense rainfall. Images from the area show widespread submersion in floodwater, according to AFP reporting between 8:45 AM and 11:45 AM UTC. The evacuations addressed immediate threats from rising waters in these northern regions, with visual evidence confirming submerged streets and homes in Ksar El Kebir. AFP shared the images and details via a post on X this morning within the reporting window. No specific casualty figures or further official tallies on evacuees have been released in the past three hours, though the flooding response remains active as authorities manage the crisis.
