Flash flooding left at least 37 people dead in a city on Morocco’s Atlantic coast, the North African country’s deadliest such incident in more than two decades.

Search and rescue operations remained underway in Safi on Monday after heavy rains struck parts of the city the day before, the state-run MAP news agency reported.
