The sewage overflow crisis has worsened in the districts of Sheikh Othman and Dar Saad in the capital, Aden, over the past few days, which may raise fears of a serious environmental and health disaster that could kill the population.

According to local sources, sewage water has overflowed in a number of neighborhoods and areas in the Sheikh Othman District, most notably Al-Muhandisin Street, Al-Mamdara General Street, and the Abdul-Qawi and Sheikh Al-Duyoul neighborhoods, and some of it has reached inside citizens’ homes, causing the spread of unpleasant odors and disease-carrying mosquitoes. Public movement in the district is restricted.

In the Dar Saad district, the phenomenon of sewage overflow has recently spread and flooded part of the Al-Mughtarebin neighborhood, causing obstruction of citizens’ movement, the spread of unpleasant odors, and the accumulation of garbage, due to the difficulty of removing it. Despite this, the workers of the Cleaning Fund risked their lives and were able From lifting a lot of garbage from the middle of the sewer.

The people attributed the cause of the sewage overflow to the negligence of the sanitation department and the local authority, and the failure to take the necessary measures to address this crisis.

The people called on the concerned authorities to take urgent action to resolve this crisis, and to take the necessary measures to remove sewage and clean the affected streets and neighborhoods.

The residents expressed their fears of a major environmental catastrophe, which might cause the spread of serious diseases among the population.
