Tragedy on Moroccan Beach: 4-Year-Old’s Vacation Turns to Trauma as Off-Road Vehicle Strikes

Rushed to Casablanca after the accident, Ghita underwent surgery for a serious head trauma and a fractured jaw. While her prognosis has improved, she has serious physical and psychological sequelae. At Monday’s hearing, the victim’s lawyer presented images and medical reports to the court. He specified that the injuries suffered by the child have not yet healed, making it difficult to predict the evolution of her condition. He also mentions the possibility of complex surgical interventions in the future.

Responding to the court’s request for a detailed medical report, the defense indicated that the final report would be presented after the completion of the planned surgical intervention in Italy and the obtaining of its results. Also, it requested a legal requalification of the case, given the seriousness of the facts. For its part, the defense of the young man, detained in the context of this case, maintained that it was simply a "road accident". It requested the provisional release of its client, but was met with the judge’s refusal.

The court decided to postpone the examination of the file to next week. It also ordered the summoning of the insurers of the 4x4 and the jet ski.

The 4-year-old girl and her family, who had come from Italy to spend their vacation in Morocco, were enjoying a sunny day when the tragedy occurred on the Sidi Rahal beach. On the web, many Internet users have cried out in outrage. The hashtag #justicepourGhaïtha quickly spread on social networks.
