‼️🇲🇦 BREAKING —
FLASH FLOODS KILL AT LEAST 21 IN SAFI, MOROCCO

At least 21 people were killed in flash floods triggered by torrential rains on Sunday in Morocco's Atlantic coastal province of Safi, 330 kilometres south of Rabat, Moroccan authorities said. The floods injured over 40 people. Morocco is experiencing heavy rain across multiple regions, with floods in Tanger and Tetouan.

Search and Rescue operations are still ongoing and the death toll is expected to rise.

The extreme rainfall (~70-100mm in hours) overwhelmed urban drainage systems. Critics, including locals on social media, point to chronic government neglect of flood infrastructure—poorly maintained sewers and stormwater channels—exacerbating the disaster despite prior weather alerts. Morocco has faced recurring deadly floods linked to inadequate urban planning and maintenance.

The Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) is looking into whether the two gunmen who attacked a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney last night—Naveed Akram, 24, and his father Sajid Akram, 50—had connections to the Islamic State (ISIS). An ISIS flag was discovered in their car, which was found near Bondi. According to ABC, Naveed Akram, who is currently hospitalized in critical condition, had previously come to ASIO's attention and was investigated for potential links to an ISIS terror cell operating in Australia back in 2019. This investigation followed the arrest of terrorist Isaac El Matari, who was planning an attack on behalf of ISIS in Sydney.
