What is Antimicrobial Resistance?
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) refers to the ability of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites to resist the effects of medications that were once effective against them, including antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics.
As a result, standard treatments become ineffective, infections persist, and they may spread to others, increasing the risk of severe illness, disability, and death.
According to WHO, AMR is a top global public health threat, directly responsible for 1.27 million deaths in 2019 and contributing to 4.95 million deaths.
The World Bank estimates AMR could add USD 1 trillion in healthcare costs and cause GDP losses between USD 1 trillion and USD 3.4 trillion annually by 2030.

Unprecedented Rainfall Amounts:
In September 2024, some areas received over (3.9 inches) of rain in just 24hr.
Climate Change Impacts:
Meteorologists suggest that climate change increasing atmospheric moisture and evaporation rates, leading to more frequent and intense storms in the region
Historical Context:
Prior to this event, Morocco experienced six consecutive years of drought, emphasizing the rarity and significance of this rainfall event
Hydrological Effects:
The rainfall has revitalized long-dry lakes, such as ๐ Lake Iriqui, which had been dry for over fifty years, indicating a significant hydrological shift in the region.
Potential Future Trends:
extratropical cyclones are rare but may become more common due to changing climatic conditions in the Sahara.
