RABAT: Morocco has evacuated more than 50,000 people, nearly half the population of the northwestern city of Ksar El-Kebir, as flooding driven by weeks of heavy rain threatened to inundate the city, state media said on Monday. “The city has become a ghost town,” local resident Hicham Ajttou told Reuters by phone. “All markets and shops are closed and most residents have either left voluntarily or been evacuated.” Authorities set up shelters and temporary camps and barred entry into Ksar El-Kebir as rising water levels in the Loukkos River spread across several neighborhoods.
