Rabat - The bodies of four missing children swept away Monday by seasonal flooding river in the rural town of Znaga, in Ouarzazate province, were found Tuesday, according to local authorities.
Thanks to the efforts of the elements of the Royal Gendarmerie, Civil Defence, local authorities and the local population, the corps of the four children were found.
The four children aged between from 7 to 11 were reportedly playing by the river Tazlmint at the Douar Taghrabt when they were surprised by the flood waters of the river, following the heavy rainfalls that covered most of the regions of the kingdom.
Because of a weak infrastructure, the recent rainfall caused many material damages when the flood penetrated into the buildings and schools in the south-east of Morocco.
