Mosquito surge angers Al Hoceima residents as summer approaches

The city of Al Hoceima has seen a notable surge in mosquitoes in recent days, causing widespread discontent among residents, especially in the evening, due to the lack of clear field interventions.
Parks and green spaces have become breeding grounds, affecting the comfort of families and children.
Observers attribute this situation to rising temperatures and favorable conditions for reproduction, as well as the need to intensify environmental monitoring and sanitation operations and regular insect control programs, particularly in areas with dense vegetation or water accumulation.
With the start of the summer season and the city preparing to welcome visitors, calls are increasing for urgent intervention to launch proactive mosquito control campaigns, to protect public health and the comfort of residents and visitors.
Citizens demand periodic spraying programs with insecticides that respect environmental and health standards, and awareness campaigns to reduce breeding sites.
In the meantime, residents await practical and swift measures.
