Saudis are furious over the mismanagement of floods in Jeddah.
The anger of the Saudis over the poor performance of the Saudi authorities in controlling the flood in Jeddah.
The city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia witnessed torrential rains so that a number of its main streets and roads were blocked and countless cars were damaged in the heavy and unprecedented floods, which angered the Saudis for the poor performance of the Saudi authorities.
Also, the Saudi authorities announced the death of several people due to floods in Saudi Arabia.
According to Saudi media reports, the rains caused heavy financial losses, flooded cars, blocked many main roads, and submerged government buildings and several residential areas.
The intensity of the flood was so strong in some passages and areas of Jeddah city that it carried away many cars and led to power outages in some areas. The rain led to the closure of offices and schools in this province and blocked the road from Jeddah to Makkah for several hours.
Saudi authorities also announced that flights were canceled following the flooding in Jeddah, which is a sign of the poor performance of the Al Saud in dealing with this natural disaster.
Many social users accused Al Saud of neglecting the people and their needs and said that the purpose of this neglect is to insult the nation and destroy their future.
Also, Saudi users reacted by launching the hashtag “Jeddah is sinking” in the social space.
“Adel Al-Saeed”, the deputy of the European-Saudi Human Rights Organization, said: Jeddah is drowned in corruption and lack of supervision and accountability. Saudi Arabia was able to displace nearly a quarter of the population and destroy their property within a few months to rebuild the city as it claims; But it failed to build strong infrastructure in a city that is almost prone to flooding.
