Primary • A supporting wall has collapsed on Melchat Street in the Hadar neighborhood
A supporting wall collapsed on a set of stairs in Usha Alley on Melchet Street in Haifa.
Fire and rescue are on the scene, there are no people trapped in the incident.
We will update with more details later.




That's how it is when emissaries run the country, long live the stupid right wing and the Mizrahim they brought here to destroy everything.
Good Miriam, enjoy yourself in noisy and crowded Tel Aviv.
All the uniqueness of Haifa is the calmness, the greenery and the peace and nature, including the special wild pigs. There's nothing like falling asleep at night to the howling of jackals. It's really magical. Anyone who doesn't appreciate nature shouldn't live in Haifa. There are enough sooty concrete cities in Israel to move to.
Don't look in the jug at what's in it. This is Hadar.
Shalom Miriam Unfortunately, precisely because of the "fleeing to the center of the country" Hadar in particular and in general Haifa has reached a deteriorated state compared to its past.
You expect some savior to come - you will not be saved
Go back to Haifa, buy apartments in Hadar, renovate them and put in them a strong and contributing population instead of the one that came in because the apartments are cheap and 7.10 according to the destruction. If we don't turn the wheel back - we will be run over. This is already clear to everyone after XNUMX/XNUMX
I ran away from Haifa to the center of the country. There is nothing to compare. Haifa was beautiful in my childhood. Jewish and clean. Today a lot of Arabs took over there.. The mayor is a leftist. and loves wild boars. less people. Father Khushi guarded Haifa today everything is ruined and rotten there is no construction and upgrading of Hadar. There used to be luxury stores there, today it's all bazaars and zanlims. I hope that a mayor with ambition and the ability to change will arrive!
I agree with Yael Hadar, 100 years old and all the buildings are outdated, and were built in poor quality that will start to show collapses and we don't have to wait for a big earthquake where we get hundreds of buildings that collapsed on their occupants.
A city-wide plan is required, where plots of small buildings of 1-6 tenants can be combined into a large plot so that it is profitable for developers to build higher, with an underground parking lot. If they unite 4 lots between every two streets in Hadar (the slopes between the streets are required in general)
It is possible to reach plots of over a dunam that will allow the construction of up to 15 floors with a parking lot. This should be the model for regeneration in all its glory.
Without a choice, it is economically impossible to move renewal in small buildings and it is necessary to consolidate plots in order to strengthen rights
If 4 buildings with 15-20 apartments are united, it will be possible for a developer to build a building with 60 units on 15 floors, such as Migdal Ahad Ha'am or Migdal Hillel. In such a framework, it will be possible to widen the roads and modernize infrastructure as well.
I am apolitical and against party (party?) politics.
So I can only point out that they forgot to take a picture of the wall before (and after - because it is still possible to understand if you would add graphics or another good angle of photography)
That way we would get an understanding (perhaps) of what kind of wall it is.
Who would demand a committee on something they know will happen for sure?!
You lack a huge reinforcement .. missing a screw / screws and not only in the walls.
There is nothing in the report about the crumbling wall regarding the danger or sufficient clarification of the incident.
There is no appeal to any responsible party.
Maybe you should really ask your party what happened here?
Why the commenters here are so stupid is simply amazing
The Hadar neighborhood is the most beautiful, unique and authentic, the buildings are old and unique, there is no doubt that there is a need for preservation and maintenance, it is a shame that the municipality allows the splitting of apartments which weakens the buildings and the population.

The price of neglect.
The one who didn't take care of Jock when he was one.
Got an attack of cockroaches and rats
poor maintenance by the property owners,
Good thing it ended without casualties
All the supporting walls are crumbling, even in Neve Shaanan on the way to Yad Labanim, where is the municipality??
Haifa my hometown I am ready to design a new wall volunteering as a landscape architect
An old honey concrete wall (concrete with large stones without iron) which was followed by uncontrolled filling without a drainage layer. A miracle that lasted close to a century until it fell. The wall has owners who will finance the removal and repair.

Hadar is a neighborhood full of history and Bauhaus buildings and stunning stone houses. Friend that the municipality does not worry about returning a petition out of date. Preserve the houses and build only in a restored form like Rothschild in Tel Aviv
Haifa, third world, everything is crumbling, everything is left-handed
So a supporting wall hook? So fix it. It's not a problem. That's what engineers and builders are for. Hadar is a beautiful neighborhood thanks to beautiful old houses, some of them in houses, and wonderful architectural gems for domestic and foreign tourism. Compared to which the squalor of the new buildings stands out, the apartments are crowded, the ceilings are low on the ugly square meters in the "innovative" construction sites. The real urban innovation is to repair a crumbling supporting wall nicely and well. So that it will stand for another hundred years. Compared to the towers that are built in advance for 25 years and no more.
When the owner does not live in the building: its depreciation is accelerated. At the low level of rents, it is not worthwhile or the owner cannot, to invest in proper maintenance. According to Appreciation Tax calculations, normal depreciation of a building is 25 years to reach zero (every year 4 percent depreciation) The buildings in Hadar have been standing for 100 years - an engineering miracle (-:
Haifa is crumbling
For 20 years you will not maintain the city of Haifa. The city is rotting and being destroyed. There are no achievements, everything is falling down, roads are crumbling, and even at the height of their arrogance, they still want to return to the priesthood or to stay and of course, Jonah and Einat, two people who destroyed the city
The Hadar neighborhood is full of buildings that are 100 years old or more. The time has come for a comprehensive evacuation-construction plan. Just shave hundreds of crumbling buildings and build new ones.
