Tragic Events Unfold in Sefrou
On April 16, 2026, the emergency department of Sefrou Hospital was faced with an alarming incident involving four adolescent girls who attempted to take their own lives. Reports indicate that one of the girls is a student at Sidi Boumendine Middle School, while the others, born in 2012 and 2013, hail from the rural area of Sinhaaja. Given the severity of their conditions, the Sinhaaja students were transferred to the university hospital in Fez for further medical assistance.
Initial investigations suggest that the girls may have ingested an unknown medication, prompting local gendarmerie authorities to open an investigation under the supervision of the relevant judicial authority. This incident has raised significant concerns within the community, especially among civil organizations who have sounded the alarm over the growing trend of such distressing behaviors among female students in the eighth and ninth grades. Families and child advocacy groups are calling for accountability and a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of this disturbing phenomenon regarding drug misuse among minors.
