At least seven people were killed Wednesday when a river burst its banks and flooded a village football pitch where a game was being played in south Morocco, local authorities said.
The victims included a 17-year-old boy and six elderly men attending the match in the village of Tizert, in Taroudant region.
Searchers had rescued one man who was injured by the flood and was looking for another missing person, officials said.
The river overflowed and submerged the pitch where an amateur football tournament was underway, a resident told AFP.
