Al-Asaba Municipal Council declared, on Tuesday afternoon, a state of emergency due to heavy rainfall, calling on government agencies to intervene urgently and send specialized teams to support the municipality.

It also warned in its urgent request that the municipality lacks even the simplest capabilities to alleviate the suffering of citizens.

The council thanked all parties that cooperated with the municipality and are still making efforts to develop solutions, including the Western Mountain Water and Sewerage Company, the Security Directorate, the Municipal Guard, Facilities Management and Project Management despite the lack of capabilities.
