Torrential rains well above normal fell at different times in several regions of North Africa. Among the few official figures we have, we know that 17 people died in Morocco. One of them is Spanish. The phenomenon affected more regions. In the south of Algeria, three other deaths were recorded. Among them, a girl. And dozens of people had to be rescued from the waters or debris in other parts of the country such as Tindouf.
The Sahrawi refugee camp is located in Tindouf. How do such rains affect a place like the desert? In a refugee camp, with mud houses? 200,000 people live there. People like Khaya, whom we asked to send us audio recordings of his house in the Sahrawi refugee camps, from the day before the possible rains. We were also able to speak with Jaled, who is part of Juventud Activa Saharaui. In addition, we put all this in context, to understand what happened, with the scientific director of elDiario.es, Antonio Martínez Ron.
