The Jeddah Municipality has begun evacuating residential neighborhoods in informal settlements in Al-Nazla Al-Yamaniyah, Al-Qurayyat, Madain Al-Fahd, Al-Thaaliba and Al-Masfa, in preparation for the start of demolition work.
It is worth noting that the Jeddah Governorate Municipality had previously begun work on removing properties in the Ghulail and Petromin neighborhoods south of Jeddah, as part of the project to organize and address informal settlements.
The demolition work comes as part of efforts aimed at developing and addressing the risks posed by these buildings to residents, starting the development, planning and organizing of the neighborhood in a civilized manner, addressing slum areas, and contributing to improving public services and facilities.
