In the rainy season, the road turns into swamps of stagnant water and a source of foul smell that smells in the neighborhoods. It also provides an environment suitable for infectious diseases such as fever and malaria.

The danger of Al-Fatah road does not only harm the residents living in the neighborhood, but also it harms closed neighborhoods. The disaster is that the road is located next to Al Fath school. This makes the lives of students, especially young people, at risk.

Dogs threaten students

Anwar Alwan, a student in the primary stage, never thought he would be attacked a stray dog on the road and that his right leg would be bitten, and if his colleagues had not gone to tell one of the teachers about the accident that rushed to the hospital and give him a dose of rabies, otherwise he would lose his leg and become dead.

Fever

Many women, children and the elderly people have been infected with typhoid fever and dengue fever due to the environmental situation and the proliferation of mosquitoes those transmit infection as a result of waste in the road.

Yasir Saif describes the suffering of people, due to changing the road into a place of throwing the garbage , by saying: The cases of fever or malaria disease is common among families throughout the year, the news of injury or death is met coldly by the people because it is common thing that they could not solve, in school they did not get rid of infection.

Improving the Environmental situation

The public works project has intervene to pave Al-Fath Road. It will provide a safe environment for the residents of the neighborhood, the students and teachers of Al-Fath school. The previous situation has always been a cause for daily life and a grave danger to their lives.

Marginalized groups

Al-Fath neighborhood, the majority of its inhabitants are socially marginalized (the unemployed and the poorest) and the implementation of the paving project filled large numbers of labor and provided a source of income to meet the requirements of daily life.

Nader Jafar says: paving the road has provided unemployed young people with jobs in the neighborhood and made them spend their time at work instead of forming gangs, and this helped to reduce the rate of crime and make young people engaged in providing a living.
