In the memory of inhabitants of Oued El Maleh, a secondary agglomeration belonging to the municipality of Hammam N’bail, located regarding twenty kilometers south-east of the capital of the wilaya of Guelma, the eponymous wadi has never reached such virulence.
“Within minutes on Tuesday followingnoon, devastating floods engulfed the village. The wilaya path was very quickly submerged by water. Mud flows also came from the heights of the agglomeration and the primary school, the village mosque… were invaded.said yesterday at El Watan, inhabitants still reeling from this apocalyptic vision.
And to continue: “The bridge at the entrance to the agglomeration, already clogged by the last flood, was very quickly overwhelmed. See for yourself ! The playground is devastated. Roadside dwellings have been overrun, too low to the road.”
Indeed, it is a disaster village thatEl Watan discovered for the second consecutive time in the space of a few days. But this time, there were more diggers, trucks and other clearing machines working to make the community look viable, notes El Watan on the spot. Thus, the DTP, the ONA, the Civil Protection, which installed a mobile HQ, and other public and private companies were expedited to deal with the emergency.
But still, the pupils of the primary school did not have class and the affected inhabitants hastened to leave their homes which had become unlivable. As for the city’s mosque, it’s a big machine that scraped off tons of mud that blocked the entrance to the sacred place.
It should also be noted that the bridge spanning Oued El Malah, near the locality of Guerrir and its banks, which had already been the subject of development work by the DTP following the previous bad weather, was completely devastated and the work reduced to nil.
“The machines are at work. We saw the damage. We are going to reconstitute the banks of the wadi with a contribution of blocks of 3 to 4 tons. And backfill for the structure in order to restore the circulation of goods and people.explains, to El Watan, Nouacer Salem, director of the DTP of the wilaya of Guelma, met on the site. Finally, it should be noted that machines operated an emergency cleaning of the wadi, which crosses the agglomeration. A crisis unit has been set up by the authorities of the wilaya to take care of any family victim of bad weather.
