I am from Camp 1, Block C. We have a drainage area beside our home, which poses a hazard as children often fall into it. It has become very difficult for us to enter and exit our house because navigating around the drain is challenging. Just yesterday, a boy fell into the drain, hit his head, and had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.

Additionally, there are large drains near the mosque, creating another dangerous situation for children who play outside. If they go near that area, they risk falling as well. This situation makes it extremely difficult for both the elderly and children to move around safely because they must walk near the drain.

Instead of walking through a safe path, they are forced to navigate the drain, which increases the risk of falls and injuries. We are concerned for the safety of our children and the difficulties faced by the elderly in our community.
