(haipo) - Floods are caused as a result of a large amount of rain combined with an urban runoff-surface drainage system that is not adapted to the amounts of rain or that in some places the drainage shutters and drains are clogged with garbage and do not allow the drainage of the road section. Report flooding to us.
Roadblocks - The Israel Police informed Lahi Fe: during these hours, a number of streets and checkpoints were blocked throughout the city, to enable a response to several scenes where trees/poles fell or floods due to the heavy rains. The police are working alongside other emergency bodies to rescue vehicles stuck in flood zones.
Location of the blocks:
Update for 20:50: The descent from Route 22 towards the Paz Bridge was blocked.

הצפה במגרשי קצף – משחק הנוער של מכבי חיפה נדחה
Our correspondent Adir Yaziraf reports:
The home game in the Premier League for the youth of the Maccabi Haifa team that was supposed to be held today (23.12.2023) at the "Foam" field in Haifa between the Maccabi Haifa team against M.S.

The media ignores the facts. For example: the state of the sprinklers in the city - for many years the sprinklers are at their peak.
What is the wonder that additional drainage is not needed if there is no mention in the media?
It is not the blessing rains, but the PA's preparations for winter in general. Need chimney cleaning
Rain is a blessed thing. Let it go down as much as possible.
מאז שנות השבעים , אין שנה שעיריית חיפה לא נערכת לקאאת הגשמים. לא מקשיבים לאזהרות ולא מטפלים בביביום .
It's just amazing
Those who do not work in the summer will drown in the winter
Not the mayors for generations. no and no.!!! They, and neither Klish, are not to blame for the aforementioned phenomenon.
Only the municipal employees who do not work...!!! .and we the residents of the city pay their salaries.!!!
0.48 EG from every shekel of property tax we pay goes to their funding…….
And think about it.!!!
They deal with puddles and in the south soldiers kill them every day
Almost 24 hours in a row, an insane amount of rain fell, no drainage system could withstand it, even the lawns became puddles from the rain
seventh world city with wild boars.
And Moses:
I help the municipality in locating hazards all over Haifa, and I tell you that the drainage canals were clean. What is the problem? Wonderful residents in a combination of wild pigs dirtying and throwing garbage all over the place, a heavy rain comes, washes away all the garbage, and the drains get clogged within 10 minutes.
Elek Htafa on Harofeh Street...
Who is this stressed person who reported?
4 cm high water flows a little on the road like in a million other places
Flood he says
מדוע העירייה לא נערכה ? יש פתרונות הנדסיים למצב כזה. מדוע לא מיישמים בשטח ???
How will we get to work tomorrow???
What are property taxes paid for here???
Since the port of the Chinese Gulf, the entire coast of Kiryat Haim has been destroyed. No wonder everything crumbles there.
Even without rain there are crazy problems there due to the prevention of sand drift and the change in flow due to the Gulf port.
What did the whole world realize that there is no way to leave beaches when you dry up an area into the gulf like this?
There is no sand transportation and all the sand transportation by a chani will not help.
The only thing that can be done on Kiryat Haim beach is a large marina for vessels to make lemonade out of this lemon
And remove the 1000 tank farm and make a huge marina there for XNUMX vessels to take advantage of the back of the breakwater of the monster port.
There is not enough drainage infrastructure, the main thing is to build and build, you have to take care of infrastructure first and then build
The city looks exactly like the mayor's face!
Must fly and beautiful one hour before.
Idiot!!!
They pay property taxes so that the thieves and all their families can have the whole municipality is one family. Where is the law that says not to bring in a slave girl and children? They searched my son to bring in two children and the daughter-in-law of a senior manager.
Keep throwing wipes into the toilet and keep being surprised that there are good blockages in the drain again and again.
And most importantly, you will continue to ignore the climate crisis and the storms raging all over the world
Bibi will save us from Kalish and the thugs of the Labor Party
What does it have to do with the municipality??? Torrential rain that is not absorbed by the groundwater floods every country in the world.
Many thanks to Keklish for the necessary infrastructures that kept us 20 years back
Rain is a blessing
Unfortunately for us, he barely appears for two weeks a year
So instead of complaining and grumbling, take a picture of it and enjoy
a storm? A little rain... everything collapses
Why exactly do we pay sewerage and property tax that is the question
The municipality does not know how to do anything, they pay property taxes to the city like in third world India
This is what happens when you don't prepare before winter, clean the drainage system and aren't surprised by the rain. It's interesting what the municipality does before the "surprise"
Where is the city?
