Collapsed wall is a safety hazard

The terrace wall of a building near my home in the Al Safiya Colony, near Hor Al Anz, collapsed about a month ago. However, the site has still not been cleared, only cordoned off with tape, which has since blown away, and the area remains a safety hazard.

In the morning children play next to the broken building and are unaware that they are putting themselves in grave danger. If a piece of wall should fall while they are playing near it or while someone walks past, it could seriously injure them.

There are tenants living in the building and they are at risk of being involved in a catastrophe.

By publishing this picture I hope to bring this matter to the attention of the concerned authorities to help safeguard the area. Someone has to take the initiative to clean the mess up and fix the wall.

I am really scared that someone, especially a child waiting for the school bus, is going to get hurt.
