Hit by devastating floods in December 2025, which resulted in significant human and material losses, the city of Safi has turned its focus to rebuilding and resuming activities. While the main efforts are concentrated on infrastructure, housing, and affected businesses, local stakeholders are working to ensure that the city's heritage is also included in this large-scale project.
The National Human Rights Council (CNDH) has praised Morocco's handling of recent floods, noting significant progress in aligning with international standards and human rights-based disaster response. However, it emphasized the need for a proactive national protocol to enhance crisis preparedness, urging improvements in early warning systems and climate change strategies.
Floods and severe weather in northern Morocco have affected the country’s soft fruit heartland, with many growers seeing their farms inundated and greenhouses damaged. Production losses are estimated at up to 10%, with the impact expected to weigh on early Ramadan supply and push prices higher.
