**Arab Sea - Reports:** Citizens in Aden complained about the deterioration of public roads due to heavy rainfall. They are tired of the recurring disaster and are asking: Where did the money for rainwater drainage projects go? And why does the city flood with every cloud? While the infrastructure is supposed to be qualified to handle such conditions, especially in a city that is not naturally considered a rainy city. In the same context, journalist Abdulrahman Anis published an angry post on his social media page, in which he directed harsh criticism to the engineers, supervisors, contractors, and officials responsible for the coastal road projects, accusing them of tampering, corruption, and burying people's eyes with stones and advertisements, while the truth is exposed by the first drop of rain. Anis added: "The fault is not in the sky that rained, but in those who stole the money for the drainage network and tampered with the rain projects, turning the streets of Aden into traps for vehicles and swamps for people." The photos and videos circulating from various districts of Aden showed shocking scenes of ambulances almost sinking and main streets completely submerged, which sparked a wide wave of anger on social media, amid demands to hold those involved accountable and review all infrastructure projects in the city.
