Foul weather in Morocco has killed up to seven people a week after a previous storm left 36 dead, media reports said on Monday.

Storms again lashed the south of the kingdom, with the resort of Agadir experiencing the equivalent of an entire year's rainfall -- more than 250 millimeters (10 inches) -- between Friday and Sunday.

The trial of a Moroccan whose young housemaid died after suffering severe burns in the resort city of Agadir was postponed on Thursday until January 23 because a key witness was absent.

The 14-year-old girl, identified only as Fatima, died in March after being hospitalized with burns to her face and hands, some of them third degree.
