Pickup trucks take away on Monday whatever can be sold from the garbage dump in Al-Shaqeeq that was the site of a fire the previous day which took fire services six hours to extinguish. A source at the Civil Defense in Jizan said that a report 30 days earlier had warned local authorities of the danger posed by the waste dump, citing uncontrolled quantities of inflammable material and the absence of a protective wall or barrier to seal off the site.
