Against the background of the Court of Cassation’s assertion that the Umm al-Haiman area is not suitable for housing because it has turned into a hotbed of pollution, a number of citizens residing in the area revealed that they intend to file new cases against the concerned government authorities to compensate them for the damages they have sustained over the past years, as well as to demand that they be given alternative housing in other areas, reports Al-Qabas daily. A tour of Umm Al-Haiman revealed the increasing suffering of the people due to the emission of fumes from dozens of factories close to the houses. The citizens indicated that they had submitted complaints more than once to the government authorities to save them from the clutches of pollution, but none of the officials have acted.
