The Executive Director of the Fund, Fahd Attia, explained that the work aims to clean a number of flood drainage channels and remove slums and waste that cause blockages in various streets and urban neighborhoods during rainfall.
He stated that work is ongoing to remove waste from flood channels from the torrent extending from Safiya Tamish, Harat Al-Masirah to Khawlan Street, and to clean and scrape the dirt from a number of tunnels and entrances to the torrent in Beit Bous extending from the Martyrs' Roundabout to Al-Khamsin Street.
He explained that the field teams will work during this period to remove dirt and clean the streets, median islands and basins that were filled with waste resulting from the flow of torrents, calling on citizens not to throw waste in the torrent, channels and torrents and streets, due to the health and environmental risks this poses.
