Always dangerous to mess with a river mouth–New Orleans being the most drastic and poignant example recently.

The industrial district is on the east side of Tangier near Plaza de Toro. They buried the Portuguese River and built a new canal, but they obviously screwed up.
Also the Oued el Ehud flooded in Dradeb since they basically built right over it. Dumb.

Obviously this help and this money will disappear before getting to the the people and the places affected. Some minister, responsible and police who are corrupt will share the help.

I dont think so. I think they mean the industrial district in the south of the city, where the highway towards Rabat starts. (With the Scania dealer and stuff)

Does “industrial district” mean that area on the Med coast on the road to Tetouan? East of new port but west of Jebel Musa?
