Street children in Morocco number between 10,000 and 14,000, showed a study by the Moroccan secretariat of state in charge of social protection, family and childhood.
Said Saadi, secretary of state in charge of social protection, family and childhood, imputed the rise in the number of street children to poverty, ignorance and the deterioration of family bonds.
The official, who revealed the study at a session of the chamber of advisors (the upper house of parliament), announced that the social development department is preparing a national plan for the integration of homeless children. He provided no further details on the plan.
