Banjir di Jeddah sehingga kini di laporkan telah meragut tidak kurang dari 105 nyawa.
Local authorities have rescued hundreds of people in Gwaizah district, south of Jeddah, since last week’s rain. Angry residents are demanding swift action from authorities to punish the municipality after it claimed it was not prepared for the heavy rains, which caused massive road and property damage and dozens of deaths.
According to Mr Abu al Khair, in the Islamic Hanabli legal doctrine that the kingdom follows, the government is not responsible for compensation if the cause was simply a natural disaster. “The word ‘compensation’ is enough legal evidence for me to show that the government acknowledges that it was its fault,” he said.
Mr Abu al Khair plans to sue the municipality for the deaths of 105 people in the floods. Families of the dead are reported to support the lawsuit, which will allege massive mismanagement of city works construction by the municipality as a key cause for the flooding.
The head of the Supreme Judicial Council, the kingdom’s highest judicial authority, Sheikh Saleh bin-Humaid, said on Sunday that all Saudi courts will hear any lawsuit against the authorities in regards to the Jeddah floods.
