JedMassiveFlooding 02 - Jamea District 25Nov09.flv
The heavy downpour caused massive flooding in Jeddah. The floods damaged houses and other properties. Cars stalled and were eventually submerged in flood waters. People who were stranded for several hours took refuge inside buildings.
Last week the Saudi city of Jeddah was afflicted by heavy rains that lasted only a few hours but caused massive flooding and the deaths of more than 500 people. To lessen the embarrassment, official reports shrank the number of flood-related deaths to just over 100.
Many Saudis are asking how such a catastrophe could occur in one of the world's richest countries and in its second-largest and most cosmopolitan city.
This was the most severe nature-related calamity that the world's largest oil exporter has seen in the past 50 years but the real reason for the death and destruction that occurred last Wednesday is endemic corruption in the Saudi government.
Jeddah is a great example of corruption. This city of more than 4 million people still lacks a sewage system and treatment facility. The rain that fell last week had nowhere to go but to flood the streets and neighbourhoods, creating havoc and death in its path.
Hundreds of bodies were swept in the current and up to 11,000 people may be missing in the sea, according to a report two days ago by the Saudi newspaper al-Yaum. This figure may be inflated but the number of the missing and dead surely ranks in the hundreds, and could turn out to exceed a thousand. For comparison, hurricane Katrina in the US killed about 1,800 people.
The Saudi government reaction to the disaster in Jeddah followed the usual formula of denial followed by blame of the victims for failing to follow government orders. Instead of taking responsibility, a Prince Khalid al-Faisal, the governor of Mecca region, in which Jeddah lies, blamed "arbitrarily built" neighbourhoods, and not the absence of a sewage system. Saudi media, which is mostly owned and fully controlled by the ruling family, followed suit and pointed a finger at citizens who bought land and built houses in unplanned areas.
This has brought to light yet another fact of life in Saudi Arabia: most citizens are unable to buy a home. The percentage of adult Saudis who do not own homes is around 80% in sharp contrast to other Gulf countries such as Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE, where home ownership rates exceed 80%, thanks to government programmes.
The cause of the low home ownership is the high price of land. This may seem surprising in such a huge country with a relatively small population, but it results from land grabs by members of the ruling family. Many Saudi citizens woke up one day to find that the land they had either inherited or paid good money for has been taken over by a member of the Al Saud. The land deed that the citizen holds becomes worthless and no court will take up the issue. If you complain too much, you will end up in prison. L285

Thank you Brother for uploading such memorable videos about our beloved city! This is really an important documentation of the city during that era. I can see and rewind my childhood through them!
الثمانينات والتسعينات كانوا العصر الذهبي لمدينة جدة .. اللي ماعاش في جدة في هذين العقدين فقد فاته أجمل مافي المدينة!
اه كان عمري ٢٠ سنة اجمل حياة حياتي كنت طالب جامعي وكنت اذهب لجدة كثيرا في هذه السنوات اذهب عند الاقارب بسكن جامعة جدة وكنا نلتقي على شاطيء البحر وعلى افلام الفديو

It brings back good memories. Wish to can go back to that days again and live all the livings again...
أنت على حق في ذلك. أكثر ما فاتني في التسعينيات هو حركة المرور. الطرق شبه فارغة حتى في عطلات نهاية الأسبوع.
حسب تاريخ التصوير ف في عام ١٤١٤هج الموافق ٩/٨ رمضان.. زمن ال٩٠م هو الزمن الوحيد الي الله سبحانه زرع محبته بقلوب الجميع ( واليوم حنا ف زمن الكورونا ٢٠٢٠م ) ❤
