Morocco flood evacuees mark muted Ramadan away from home

KENITRA, Morocco: When floods forced Ahmed El Habachi out of his Moroccan village, he thought the displacement was temporary. Weeks later, he broke his Ramadan fast in a tent, wondering when he would return home. During the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, families traditionally gather over joyous feasts to break the daytime fast. But the floods that battered northwestern Morocco in recent weeks have left evacuees like Habachi with little to celebrate. “We prepare Iftar with whatever we can lay our hands on,” the 37-year-old told AFP, referring to the fast-breaking meal.
