It’s shameful.
I’ve read somewhere that Qatar and the UAE wanted to give donations and offered to build proper infrastructure for the people of Jeddah.

“how did this happened in the second largest city in the kingdom??”
Looks like they built the city on a dry riverbed. Likewise, the Pakistanis have been building on a flood plain.

Wallah man I was thinking the EXACT same thing even before wednesday’s floods. King Abdullah’s gifts to Obama’s wife and kids, wow… There’s so much surplus in the budget so it seems, but where is it? Are people embezzling to build mansions in Switzerland or something?

What pisses me the most is the covering up they’re doing.My sister was stuck outside the house for a whole day and didn’t return until the next day!Her friend saw dead bodies floating.She is traumatized but they don’t care about physical safety,so they won’t care for sure about their psychological safety.Enough is enough!

No lesson learned from last year and no hope for next years too. Good luck Jeddah people ur in “safe hands”.
No accountability no solution. Big guys live in big palaces and are not affected.
