flag King of Morocco urges citizens to skip sheep slaughtering for Eid due to severe drought.

flag King Mohammed VI of Morocco has urged citizens to abstain from slaughtering sheep for Eid al-Adha due to a 38% drop in the country's cattle and sheep herd caused by a seven-year drought. flag Rainfall this year was 53% below average, leading to higher meat prices. flag The King stated that performing the ritual would cause significant harm, especially to those with limited income. flag To stabilize prices, Morocco has suspended import duties and VAT on cattle, sheep, camels, and red meat, and plans to import up to 100,000 sheep from Australia.
