20,000 Kuwaiti exiles without running water in Damman
DAMMAN (Saudi Arabia). Feb « : Moro than 6,000 families totalling about 20,000 people arc living In 34 high-rise apartment blocks without running water in this Saudi city surrounded by sand, reports Reuter.
And each family is praying for ihc day they can move to even worse conditions.
Welcome lo Ihc Kuwaiti mini-city In this northern Saudi Arabian town, a few hours drive from a homeland the residents fled tn fear as Iraq's troops swept in last August 2.
The mini-city, whose buildings seemed copied from the sketchbook of a New York city urban planner, is home to one of the largest concentrations of Kuwaiti exiles.
Before the Kuwaiti families moved In. the 34 14-storey buildings with spacious balconies were empty for a decade — a tribute to Saudi
reluctance to live in anything but a house ' where you can sec the sun from every corner."
Engineer Suliman Al-Mani sits in a ground floor office with so many "free Kuwait" signs that even the toilet door has one.
Al-Mani, who .fled Kuwait five months after the Iraqi 1n-vasion. said he had received bad news on Thursday. He was told the school across the street from his Kuwait City home had been bombed.
As far as he knows his mother and sister are still living in the house. The school across the street had been taken over by Iraqi troops.
"Wc have one hope, wc need our country. Wc don't need money. Wc need the sound of our country," he said.
Like many Kuwaitis, he is partly resigned to the idea that much in his homeland may have to be destroyed
before it Is restored to Kuwaitis.
Kuwaiti ministers planning the reconstruction of Ihc country say It will have to rebuild from Ihc ground up because so much has been destroyed and looted by the occupying forces.
And nobody knows what will happen when the ground war takes place.
Will the Iraqis follow a scorched earth policy before departing? Will the allies mount a siege of Kuwait city cutting off food and supplies to all Inside to starve the Iraqis out?
Nurse Monccra Ibrahim doesn't want to guess.
She says she Is'too Tull of memories from her last four days In Iraq when Iraqi troops took over her hospital and evicted Ihc Kuwaiti patients, the Kuwaiti doctors and nurses and even the Kuwaiti babies
in Incubators.
She says she doesn't know .what is happening 1n Kuwait. The last teller she received was smuggled out of Kuwait to Jordan, posted to Egypt, then to Bahrain and finally lo Saudi Arabia.
Al-Mani says he, too, docs not know what Is happening. But he says It cannot be good.
When he left Kuwait lo take his sick wife to hospital in Damman, Iraqi troops stole his money and Identity papers at the border.
He said he was one of the lucky ones. They change the rules every day. Sometimes they shoot the men, sometimes they take the car and leave the women and children to walk In the desert.
"Sometimes they shoot the men and make the women pay for the bullets. Their goal Is an empty Kuwait "
