Water gushes through sand dunes after a rare rainfall in the Sahara desert

A rare deluge of rainfall has left lagoons of water amid the palm trees and sand dunes of the Sahara desert. Some regions are seeing more water than they had in decades. Residents surveyed the scene in awe. Southeastern Morocco’s desert is among the world's most barren and arid places and rarely experiences rain in late summer. This rainfall will likely help refill the large groundwater aquifers, but it left dozens dead in Morocco and Algeria.
