RABAT, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Flash floods triggered by torrential rains killed at least seven people and injured 20 others on Sunday in Morocco's Atlantic coastal province of Safi, 330 kilometres (205 miles) south of Rabat, Moroccan authorities said.

One hour of heavy rain was enough to flood around 70 homes and shops, sweep away ten cars and cut many roads in Safi and its surroundings, as rescue efforts continue, authorities said in a statement.
