Floods kill seven people near Taroudant in Morocco

Heavy summer rain triggered flash floods that killed at least seven people in a rural area near the locality of Ighern in the province of Taroudant, local authorities said.

Videos largely shared on social media showed people swept away by the flood while standing on a roof of a rural stadium built next to the river.

Local media said that at least 15 people were taken by the river in the area where it rarely rains during the summer.
