Moroccan Mother of Five Killed in Spain Farm Bus Crash; Family to Receive Monthly Pension

After working for nearly twenty years in olive groves and argan plantations in Morocco, Zahra began participating in the red fruit harvesting campaigns in Huelva for four years. This mother of five children aged 6 to 20 years old went to Spain to provide for her needs and those of her family. But she died in the bus accident that was transporting her and 39 other seasonal workers to their workplace on May 1.

Repatriated from Spain, Zahra’s body arrived in Essaouira on Friday afternoon, but was not handed over to her family until Saturday. The 40-year-old woman was buried in an Essaouira cemetery, in the presence of her children and her husband, Addellah,
