Officials attributed the achievement to the collaboration among organizations and the favorable support from local people.

The Sidi Kacem Province initiated the second phase of its repatriation program on Monday, allowing inhabitants from various villages within the communes of Khnishat, Toughilt, Anwirat, Al Hawafat, Tekna, Bir Al Taleb, Sidi Kamel, Armilat, Sidi Azouz, and Safsaf to return.

Officials highlighted better weather conditions and effective on-the-ground operations as main reasons behind the slow increase in return areas, and praised locals for adhering to official instructions in previous phases.

The return procedures come after several weeks of extreme flooding and evacuations caused by intense rainfall and increasing water levels in rivers.

In Ksar El Kebir, educational institutions have restarted face-to-face learning as a result of better weather conditions, according to officials.

Resuming school operations is a component of wider initiatives aimed at bringing daily life back to normal following the floods.

Cleaning and recovery efforts, such as clearing trash, launching hygiene initiatives, and restoring power, water, phone services, and road access, started in early February when circumstances permitted.
