Flooding in southern Morocco has killed 32 people and six others are missing after the heavy rains, officials say.<\/p>\n

A girl of nine was among those who had been swept away by the raging waters of the Tamsourt River, media reports said.<\/p>\n

Around 100 mud-brick homes were partly or totally destroyed and 100 roads, including six national highways, were cut off in the floods, officials said.<\/p>\n

Flash floods are fairly common in Morocco, which is popular with tourists.<\/p>\n

Flooding around the ancient city of Marrakesh left tour buses briefly stranded, local media reported.<\/p>\n

Rescue operations saved “200 people in danger, among them 40 helped by army and royal guard helicopters”, the AFP news agency quotes an interior ministry statement as saying.<\/p>\n

About 130 all-terrain rescue vehicles and 335 inflatable boats and other vessels were being used to search for the missing, the ministry said.<\/p>\n

In the southern city of Guelmim, 24 people were killed by a flash flood that swept through a dry river bed.<\/p>\n

Many of the dead and missing came from families that were trapped in vehicles swept away by the waters, the Associated Press news agency quotes local media as saying.<\/p>\n
