Disturbing Incident in Sefrou
On April 16, 2026, the emergency department at Sefrou Hospital received four schoolgirls who had attempted suicide in a troubling event that raised alarm among local authorities and community leaders. The victims included a student from Sidi Boumendine Middle School and three other young girls born in 2012 and 2013, all hailing from the rural region of Snahaja. Their condition was deemed serious enough that they were transferred to the university hospital in Fes for further treatment.
Investigation and Community Response
Initial investigations suggest that the girls may have ingested an unknown medical substance prior to their suicide attempts. In response to this alarming situation, the Royal Gendarmerie has initiated an investigation under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor's office in the area. Civil society organizations are sounding the alarm over the rising trend of such incidents among schoolgirls in the eighth and ninth grades. Families and child welfare advocates are calling for greater accountability and responsibility from relevant authorities, raising critical questions about the accessibility of harmful substances among minors and the underlying causes of such desperate actions.
