Morocco, where agriculture is a crucial sector, is heading for its sixth consecutive year of drought due to a drop in rainfall in recent months linked to climate change, Morocco’s Minister of Equipment and Water, Nizar Baraka, said on Thursday.
“We have entered a critical phase after five consecutive years of drought that our country has never experienced before,” said Mr. Baraka at a press conference.
Rainfall has fallen by 67% in recent months compared with a year considered normal, and “the last three months (from October to December) show that we are heading for another year of drought”, the minister added.
At some point it has to stop being ‘drought’. And start to become the new normal.
