Machine gun fire in Shendi requires concerted efforts – slow fire – ✍️ Khaled Muhammad Al-Baqir
🟠 Heavy and unprecedented rains, which have caused a state of chaos and anxiety among the population. The city has faced many challenges during the fall, and these rains have further complicated the situation. These rains represent the culmination of the problems resulting from climate change that are affecting living conditions. With the increasing number of people displaced by the war, the city is experiencing additional pressure on its infrastructure.
🟠Shendi now needs an urgent response to address the deteriorating situation.
Heavy rains in the city have caused a crisis in the streets and homes, raising serious concerns about public safety.
The rain lasted for an hour and a half, during which time the narrow drainage channels were unable to absorb the huge amounts of water. This caused water to flow into homes and infrastructure, destroying property and increasing the risk of houses collapsing. This phenomenon reflects the city's inability to cope with climate fluctuations that it has never witnessed before.
🟠 The city is directly involved in challenges that place the locality and its administrations in a major challenge. The squares and sewers fill with water, then comes the succession of stagnant water, mosquito breeding, rotting of waste remains, and the arrival of flies. complete the rest of the episodes of the long Turkish dubbed series.
What will health and waste management costs be in the future?
And she says it with her mouth full, the young people of the neighborhoods should raise their hands and arms and enter the battle to reach out, because history requires a popular effort at the same time as a local effort, which is very much appreciated given the magnitude of the efforts and responsibilities entrusted to her.
🟠 In many countries around the world, scientists are still studying how climate change affects certain seasons, and autumn is one of them. Research has shown that the intensity and frequency of rainfall has increased due to these changes, leading to disastrous consequences in urban areas. With what is happening in Shendi, we have witnessed an unusual frequency of heavy rains that have exacerbated the existing situation. We must recognize and embrace these transformations to ensure a more sustainable future.
🟠 Shendi city and its suburbs have been heavily impacted by the country’s displacement crisis. As the population has grown, so have the city’s facilities. This crisis has contributed to the depletion of local resources and led to the deterioration of basic services needed by both displaced people and local residents. With increasing demand for health, education and water resources, it is clear that there is an urgent need for intensive support to cope with these growing numbers. The response of local governments is a major challenge given limited resources.
🟠 Local authorities face real challenges in dealing with serious crises such as those presented by torrential rains. Despite the efforts made, available capacities remain low and insufficient. This includes a lack of equipment to effectively cover streets and open drainage channels.
🟠 However, the local community must cooperate to find effective and appropriate solutions to this critical situation.
The effectiveness of drainage channels is demonstrated by their capacity to absorb increasing quantities of water, which weakens during heavy rains. The existing drainage ditches are an obstacle to water drainage, increasing water levels in the streets. The situation requires improving the structure of these channels to increase their capacity to accommodate the high flow. Stakeholders must work hard to develop strategic plans to improve the city's water infrastructure.
The Shendi community needs to become aware of the ongoing challenges that in turn affect the reality of daily life. Increasing awareness and education about climate change and its impacts is seen as an essential step to improve the preparedness of the society to face lean periods and future challenges.
🟠 Strengthening cooperation between individuals and responsible authorities is also necessary to build a society that can adapt to difficulties. Shendi needs partners in these efforts to be part of the positive transformation required.
