Nine people were killed and seven injured when a condemned residential building in the northern Moroccan city of Fez collapsed, local authorities said on Friday.

A search was under way for any other casualties. The spokesperson said neighboring houses have been evacuated as a precaution. The building 'had already been listed as being at risk of collapsing, and tenants had received an evacuation order', authorities said.

Royal Air Maroc's New Safety Video Takes Passengers on a Journey through Moroccan Craftsmanship
Fez – Royal Air Maroc has released a new safety video that does much more than explain emergency procedures. It tells a story of Morocco's rich craftsmanship, turning a routine announcement into a visual tribute to the country's culture and heritage. The video blends safety instructions with scenes of traditional Moroccan art and design, showcasing the fine work of artisans whose skills have been passed down for generations. From the colors to the patterns, every detail reflects Morocco's deep connection to handmade craftsmanship. With this project, Royal Air Maroc positions itself as a cultural ambassador for Morocco and Africa, bringing the country's creative spirit to the skies. The video takes passengers on a visual journey across Morocco, linking safety steps to different cities and the unique crafts found in each one. In Rabat, elegant zellige tiles set the scene. In Fez, passengers see artisans weaving traditional carpets. In Marrakech, they watch skilled hands shape fine leather. Every location features a craft that tells a story about its people and history. Each frame blends tradition and modernity, showing how culture remains alive and part of everyday life in Morocco today. Royal Air Maroc's own crew members lead the video, mixing professionalism with a personal touch. They don't just explain safety steps, they do it while representing Morocco's warm hospitality and pride. The video reflects the airline's core values: pride in heritage, respect for craftsmanship, and a desire to share Morocco's story with travelers from around the world. With this new safety video, Royal Air Maroc turns the simple act of buckling a seatbelt into an invitation to discover Moroccan culture and a reminder that every flight is more than a journey, it's a cultural experience from the very first minute.
