Morocco Under Water: How Storm Emilia Turned Rain Into Disaster

In mid-December 2025, the powerful storm Emilia swept across large parts of Northwest Africa and southern Europe, causing severe consequences, most notably in Morocco. The nationwide death toll from the deadly natural disaster reached 41 people.

On December 13, intense downpours struck Tetouan and nearby areas in the north of the country. In a short period of time, more than 1.18 inches of rainfall fell, a critical volume for the city’s drainage system. Water rapidly accumulated on streets and in low-lying areas, leading to localized flooding, inundation of narrow streets, and serious disruptions to traffic. The situation was further aggravated by strong winds with gusts of 37 to 47 miles per hour, which worsened conditions along the coast and caused heavy sea swell.

The most tragic events unfolded on December 14 in the Atlantic coastal province of Safi, about 205 miles south of Rabat, where exceptionally intense thunderstorm rainfall fell within nearly an hour, triggering a sudden flash flood. According to official data, at least thirty-seven people were killed, and dozens more were injured.

In the city of Safi and its surroundings, residential neighborhoods, the old town, shops, and industrial zones were flooded. Powerful torrents of water swept away vehicles, destroyed roads, and isolated entire districts.

Morocco’s prime minister reported that 1.6 inches of rain fell over a short period in the historic Bab-Chaaba district, through which a river runs, a factor that led to numerous casualties among traders and workers.

Tragic incidents were also reported in other regions of the country. In the southern province of Tinghir, four people died when a vehicle was carried away by a violent current and overturned into a river between Fezou and El-Hafira. Authorities warned of continued rainfall, closed schools in four provinces, and launched large-scale rescue and recovery operations.

According to experts, the scale of the devastation in Morocco is linked to a seven-year drought, after which over-dried soils and depleted reservoirs sharply intensified surface runoff during short-lived but extreme rainfall events, turning them into destructive floods.

However, the root cause lies in the unimaginable intensity of precipitation, which continues to increase year after year. Scientists have found that the formation of such extreme rainfall is being facilitated by a human-made factor. More details are presented in the new film: “Nanoplastics.

Nanoplastics. Threat to Life | ALLATRA Documentary

🟢 Rumble

🔴 https://youtu.be/BVap0MdbCZg

🎬 The film presents scientific findings on the scale and consequences of micro- and nanoplastic contamination, including:
🔹 Detection of plastic particles in air, water, food, and the human body – regardless of region.
🔹 Harmful effects of micro- and nanoplastics on human health, such as:
– inflammation, DNA damage, and mutations,
– endocrine disruption,
– accelerated cellular aging,
– cognitive impairment,
– erectile dysfunction, infertility,
– increased rates of cancer;
– impacts on children beginning in the prenatal stage and continuing after birth.
🔹 The influence of micro- and nanoplastics on the climate. Plastic particles contribute to accelerated ocean warming, atmospheric anomalies, and disruptions to the hydrological cycle.

⚠️ It is crucial to understand that simply abandoning plastic today is no longer enough to solve this global problem!

Magnitude 7+ Earthquakes Hit Alaska and Japan — Aftershocks Continue

On December 6, a spike in seismic activity was recorded beneath the Hubbard Glacier. The main shock, with a magnitude of 7.0, occurred at 11:41 a.m. Alaska time. Its epicenter was located approximately 56 miles to the northeast of the city of Yakutat in the state of Alaska, United States, and about 155 miles to the west of Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada. The hypocenter lay at a depth of only 6.2 miles.

Despite the strength of the quake, no tsunami warning was issued; nor were there any reports of serious destruction or casualties.

The tremors from this seismic event were felt over a considerable distance: residents of cities in southeastern Alaska — including Juneau and Anchorage — as well as in Canada’s Yukon, felt the shaking.

Following the main shock, an intense series of aftershocks began. Over the next four days, at least 230 repeated events with magnitudes of 3.0 and higher were recorded, including five strong ones with magnitudes up to 5.8.

Already on the evening of December 8 at 11:15 p.m. local time, another powerful seismic event occurred — an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 — about 50 miles off the eastern coast of Japan’s Aomori Prefecture. The focal depth was 31 miles. The strongest shaking was observed in the city of Hachinohe.

The earthquake generated a tsunami: in the port of Kuji in Iwate Prefecture, wave heights reached 28 inches, and in the town of Urakawa in Hokkaido — up to 20 inches.

The consequences in Aomori Prefecture were significant. 45 schools were damaged, and classes were canceled in 318 educational institutions.

In the port of Hachinohe, soil liquefaction occurred — fountains of sand and water erupted from cracked ground in a parking area. In the city hospital, three floors were flooded due to the activation of the fire-extinguishing system. Hundreds of households in the cities of Shichinohe and Mutsu were left without water and electricity.

A total of 50 people in the prefectures of Aomori, Iwate, and Hokkaido were injured, mostly due to falls and being struck by objects.

The seismic event also hit the region’s transportation system: service on the Tohoku Shinkansen high-speed rail line between Fukushima and Shin-Aomori was suspended, and three trains were stranded on the tracks.

Service was halted on several subway lines, including in Sapporo. Hokkaido expressways were temporarily closed, and ferry service across the Tsugaru Strait was also suspended. About two hundred passengers spent the night in the terminal of New Chitose Airport, the largest in Hokkaido, due to safety inspections of the runways.

Critical infrastructure was also put at risk: at the Tomato-Atsuma thermal power plant in Hokkaido Prefecture, one of the power units shut down automatically.

At the nuclear-waste reprocessing plant in the village of Rokkasho, Aomori Prefecture, about 172 gallons of water containing radioactive substances spilled from the spent fuel storage pool. The leak was promptly contained.

Within two days after the main shock with a magnitude of 7.6, at least seven powerful aftershocks occurred, with magnitudes reaching 6.6.

It must be acknowledged that seismic activity on our planet is steadily increasing, and earthquakes with high magnitudes have already become more frequent. At the same time, there is a factor that is still hardly considered by anyone in the scientific community. It exacerbates the geodynamic crisis and intensifies natural disasters by hindering the release of heat from the planet’s interior. This concerns micro- and nanoplastics. This process is described in detail in the report “NANOPLASTICS IN THE BIOSPHERE. FROM MOLECULAR IMPACT TO PLANETARY CRISIS.”

Nawaz Haq on Mobilizing Youth for Climate Action and Global Collaboration at COP30

In this COP30 interview the ALLATRA International Public Movement speaks with Nawaz Haq — climate advisor from United Kingdom, Director at V3 Environmental Solutions Ltd., and Global Strategy & Engagement Director at 195in365 Inc.

Nawaz talks about the global youth initiative 195in365, whose mission is to reach every corner of the Earth, all 195 countries in only 365 days, to shed light on the climate crisis, educate minds, inspire hearts and motivate people to take action.

In the interview, he stresses the need to break down silos, bring together diverse sectors — science, NGOs, business, policy — and push for interdisciplinary, system‑thinking approaches. The focus lies on issues like micro‑ and nanoplastics, ocean health, environmental pollution, and the links between ecological crisis and global health.

Nawaz calls out the urgency: we are approaching critical planetary tipping points. Without immediate global collaboration, youth engagement and science‑based action, the opportunity to avert catastrophe may slip away. He encourages creative storytelling and youth‑led campaigns — from music and sports to grassroots advocacy — to raise awareness and spark real change.

This interview captures Nawaz Haq’s passionate commitment to youth empowerment, global cooperation, and tangible climate solutions. It’s a powerful call to action for everyone who cares about the future of our planet.
