In the video, the man makes his way across the heavy waters trying to reach the two kids. The children were trapped in a bush surrounded by floods.
The man carried the first kid on his back and led him to safer ground as people watched on both banks. He then returned to save the second kid struggling through the floodwaters.
The video was accompanied by the caption, “the real hero of Morocco’s floods; a scene left unreported by the media.”
The comment section overflowed with appraisals. Almost all comments agreed on a “God bless you” or “he is a real hero.”
Many Moroccans were lured into believing that the video has taken place in southern Morocco. after a quick search on YouTube, it appeared that the video took place in Yemen and was posted on YouTube in 2016.
In recent weeks, several Moroccan regions have faced heavy rainfalls and destructive floods.
