Morocco sewage crisis MRE summer odors Larache

In Larache, residents of Jnane Bouhsina have been denouncing for several years an open sewer running alongside their homes. The odors and insects become particularly difficult to bear in summer, when many MREs return to stay in the neighborhood.

Dozens of residents demonstrated on Friday to demand urgent intervention from the authorities. They claim that the wastewater flowing in the immediate vicinity of homes degrades their daily life and poses health risks.

The problem becomes even more visible during the summer season. The heat intensifies the odors, while the neighborhood welcomes Moroccans residing abroad who own homes in this area of Larache.

Residents claim to have already filed several complaints with the relevant services, without obtaining a lasting solution. They now refuse to see this situation repeat itself every summer.
