Heavy rains that hit several cities in Morocco on Wednesday and Thursday have blocked several roads in Casablanca, disrupting normal life and preventing citizens from driving their cars and using public transportation. This morning, at Boulevard Zerktouni, one of the main arteries of the economic capital, the sidewalk disappeared while cars were flooded. The same situation was witnessed in different boulevards, such as Roudani, the south-eastern entrance to Casablanca, as well as the Moulay Ismail boulevard (national road n ° 1) and the avenue of the ambassador Ibn Aïcha, in northern Casablanca. According to media sources, fire fighters had to intervene to assist employees stranded in a minibus on this boulevard. ?L'entrée vers casa au niveau de Ain harrouda bloquée ?La navette Casa Rabat de l'oncf suspendue ?L'entrée de Mohammedia au niveau du pont oued maleh est fermée pour fuite de carbu ?La route de Dar bouazza vers Casa est bloquée ?Gros blocage au niveau de bd Mly ismail — Haidar_J ® (@Haidarcopyright) January 7, 2021 Further south and according to several testimonies, even the road connecting Casablanca to Dar Bouazza was blocked and difficulties were reported on several other roads.
