Pak Sahafat – While the Saudi media reported that at least 2 people were killed due to the recent flooding in Jeddah, Saudi users on social networks criticized the weak management and accumulated inefficiency of the Saudi government and wrote on Twitter: “Al Saud” is involved in corruption on earth and it’s time to kick them out of our country.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency, the Saudi Freedom and Change Movement information site wrote: Torrential rains hit Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah province on Thursday, blocking some of the main streets and roads in the province, and a large number of cars were damaged by catastrophic floods.
This caused the relevant executive organizations in Jeddah to mobilize their power to deal with the emergency situation that has been unprecedented in Saudi Arabia in the past 11 years.
The Saudi “Akaz” newspaper wrote today: About 600 subscribers in the Bahra area have experienced a power outage, and this is while the Saudi Electricity Company announced that the electricity supply to the subscribers has been cut off in the cities of the provinces affected by the recent rains, but at the same time, the electricity supplies to most of the subscribers affected by this outage in the provinces of “Al Laith” “And Aljum” and the affected neighborhoods have resumed.
The company added that with the coordination of government organizations, it is trying to open the roads leading to Bahra province to restore services to about 578 subscribers.
The Saudi Electricity Company said: About 3,484 subscribers are still facing power outages, of which 1,048 subscribers are in the north of Jeddah, 1,271 subscribers are in the south of Jeddah, and 1,165 subscribers are in the center of Jeddah.
However, the Saudi Emergency Response Center pointed out that the field teams are trying to get rid of excess water on the roads and streets as soon as possible; In particular, a large number of cars have been flooded and caused a complete disruption of traffic on most of the roads in Jeddah province.
According to this report, on Thursday, some neighborhoods of Jeddah witnessed heavy rains, as a result of which the roads were severely flooded and many people in these areas were affected by floods and runoff. The main roads were blocked and faced with traffic for several hours, and the floods entered residential neighborhoods such as Al-Nazha and Al-Zahra, etc.
The Saudi Urban Defense Organization has so far confirmed the death of 2 people as a result of flooding in Jeddah, and video clips show the extent of the destruction of neighborhoods and a large number of cars being submerged and flooded.

In one of the videos, a number of cars can be seen moving between houses in the flood, and a woman can be heard screaming and asking people to call the city defense.
Another clip shows divers from the Saudi Civil Defense Organization rescuing people trapped in the King Abdullah Tunnel in Jeddah.
The Saudis, whose happiness was destroyed by torrential rains after their team’s victory over Argentina in the World Cup, blamed the Al Saud authorities’ failure to take care of their living conditions in cyberspace and expressed their displeasure to the ears of the local authorities using proverbs.
Among the paradoxes that the Saudis are now raising is the adage that rain is the world’s most reliable means of exposing corruption, and that behind every scam there has been a flood disaster.
Thousands of Saudis expressed their protest against the Al Saud government by launching the hashtag “Jeddah is drowning” on Twitter, comparing the floods that recently engulfed large areas of Saudi Arabia to the disaster of 2009.
Turki al-Shalhoub tweeted: “Instead of spending hundreds of billions on his imaginary NEOM project, why doesn’t the impostor Bin Salman fix the sewage and improve the infrastructure?”
Nasser, the son of preacher Awad Al-Qarni, who is imprisoned in Al Saud prisons, wrote: One of the demands of “Association for Trial of Corruptors” after the Jeddah flood disaster in 2009 was to answer for this disaster, but unfortunately the members of this association were arrested and the main cause of the flood was not answered and the problem remained.
Fahad Al-Ghafili, a researcher and activist interested in the affairs of the Persian Gulf countries, wrote in a tweet: Instead of Bin Salman selling illusions to the people and wishing them Neom and “The Line”! Renovate the existing cities for the proper life of the citizens.
Another user wrote: People are drowning in their homes and the Al Saud regime is not interested in anything. Al Saud is involved in corruption on earth and it’s time to kick them out of our country.
A user also warned in this connection: “Ben Salman’s” corruption will drown Saudi Arabia, not just Jeddah… Jeddah is now drowning in the corruption of Al Saud.
