ALBAWABA - Shocking footage emerged from Morocco of a police car running over a protester, amid the ongoing, violent demonstrations that erupted in several cities since Sept. 27.

Gen Z protests rocked the streets across several Moroccan cities, including Rabat, Casablanca, Tanja and Oujda, where demonstrators called for the end of corruption and improvement to the health and education sectors, in addition to the end of unemployment.

Protesters were heard chanting 'no World Cup, health first', as they asked the government to use the money for building more hospitals rather than stadiums, highlighting that FIFA agreed that Morocco, Spain and Portugal would host the FIFA World Cup in 2030.
