«صفا جازان».. ضوضاء وتشققات أسفلت وتجمعات للمياه

Residents of the Al-Safa neighborhood in Jizan city have complained about the poor infrastructure service projects that lack maintenance and updates. They urged the relevant authorities to intervene to address these issues and improve the entrances to the neighborhood, which has been suffering from poor streets and the emergence of asphalt cracks. They added in their conversation with "Okaz": "Every rainy season, we suffer from water pooling in the streets, surrounding our homes; at times, this water mixes with sewage due to the absence of a sewage network," pointing out the need for paving and public gardens to serve as a recreational space for them. They indicated that their complaints about the lack of services do not stop there, as the neighborhood also suffers from weak internet connectivity, and they are calling for a solution to the daily congestion witnessed on the streets surrounding the passport office.

Ali Hadi (one of the residents of Al-Safa) says: Whenever it rains, the potholes and bumps in the roads become more pronounced, creating pools in the streets and in front of homes due to the lack of a sewage network or drainage for floodwaters.

Abdul Abkar adds: We hope that the municipality will address the neighborhood's problems and bring in improvement projects such as sidewalks, paving, and a drainage network for water, and that we will see health regulatory authorities patrolling the neighborhood to confront the fast-food vendors run by foreign labor that do not adhere to health standards.

Ahmad Ibrahim states: The neighborhood needs public gardens to serve as a recreational area for residents and to address the poor lighting in some vital entrances that need improvement. He added that there are some locations where dangerous electrical generators are installed close to residential buildings, supplying homes, and we fear the risk of electric shock during the rains. Fahd Hakmi points out the existence of vacant lands that have become sites for water pooling and breeding grounds for insects and mosquitoes. Faisal Mohammed also notes the presence of trucks that have made these vacant lands their parking spots for extended periods, with some turning into workshops and sites for their broken trucks, not to mention the presence of yards built from hangars that have become garages for heavy equipment, containing several broken machines that have been there for many years.
