In other countries rain falls and ends with no trouble at all, but when rain falls in Jeddah- on the western coast of Saudi Arabia and one of the most developed cities in Saudi Arabia-the city and its people drown.
The same problem happens before and nothing changed.
Did anyone learn anything from a previous situation !!!
Pictures are from Sabq.org
Well I think the gov doesn't fix the drainage carefully n Ppl shouldn't go out when the water flow very hard. The current is too strong. Ppl should knw this isn't a game n should realize how dangerous it can be. but no offense dear I do realize most Arab guys see it as fascinating n play with danger. I just don't knw why. Don't they care about their like n safety??

I'm frankly really surprised about this...ino isn't Saudi supposed to be one of the richest most modern countries in the gulf and Arab world and even Asia?0_O
BalasHapusI hope no one gets hurt. and I hope it won't happen again next year...m3 ino ashok
Oh my goshhh....this is insane! To be honest I haven't been keeping up with the news (so bad lol) and I am so shocked this is happening right now! There is no city drainage or anything?
BalasHapusAhhhhhhhhhhhh! OMG!
BalasHapusHope all is well at your end, dear?
What to say
BalasHapusJust like you said, no lesson learned, as if one year wasn’t enough to fix what turned out to be a huge corruption mistake! Our prayers with them.
I guess the answer to that is NO! No one learnt anything, sadly :(
BalasHapusجاري محمد خبرني كيف الوضع
BalasHapusفعلا ً مأساة!
كم أنفقوا على إصلاح المشكلة! و النتيجة لا شيء
:((((
Farsilla,
BalasHapusthe rain falls while people were at work, yes they were warned of possible heavy rain but no one was asked to stay at home. As for the government they have done nothing actually. And some people are simply careless.
Rain,
BalasHapusit is supposed but reality is something else, something so hurtful :(
and me too ashok anything will happen and next year the same things will happen.
Amal,
BalasHapusexactly, no city drainage at all. the worst system is in Jeddah :(
suroor,
BalasHapusit's so scary indeed .
Alhamduliallah things are great here.
Faith,
BalasHapusand believe me nothing will happen after that, unless the whole city drowned nothing will happen !!
Becky,
BalasHapusexactly :(
Haitham,
BalasHapusقالوا انهم انفقوا عدد من الارقام بس الواقع يكدبهم الان
ان شاءالله الوضع طيب مع جارك و اهله يارب
Nice documentation.
BalasHapusRommel,
BalasHapuswe need to document such incidents.
The same situation happens in Pakistan - people wish for rain, but when it comes it leaves a trail of destruction behind it.
BalasHapusSumera,
BalasHapusi would go with "corruption on land" and that rain is not to blame.
it's so sad to see like these picture when we know that jeddah is big city ?
BalasHapusAllah protect them ..
two weeks ago
BalasHapusher in bahrain
we had too much rains
in front of my home there is a big empty Land, it is lower than other lands near to it
so after stop raining
all the water was located on that land and we -me and my family- faced a lot of troubles and clay when it is about taking cars out of the garage
so may god help jedah people
Freedom,
BalasHapusAmen ya rab.
Anon,
BalasHapusIt's so sad that the richest Arab countries are faced with such small problems that turn into something big.
And Amen to your dua :)
Oh My God!!!
BalasHapusSerenity,
BalasHapusAnd it's only rain :(
