Be careful at Jebel Hafeet, where broken iron fences pose a threat

I went to Al Ain last week with my family and found that there is big security slump in Jebel Hafeet, at the top.

There were hundreds of children playing there. But the iron fences which were securing the area were broken in many places. Small children and babies ages one or two years old could easily go through the gaps and appear on the other side of the iron fence.

However, it would be too hard for adults to save their children because before they climb over the fence, the child could slip and fall. As you know, children can run far when they know someone is coming towards them.

This information is for those parents who do not know about this safety hazard and also for authorities so that they can take quick action and repair all broken parts. They should check the fences on a weekly basis.
