This picture was taken in Aquab village, a suburb of Jerusalem. The neighborhood suffers from poor infrastructure and the lack of sidewalks for children, the elderly, people with special needs and other individuals to use. Therefore, pedestrians are forced to walk in dangerous places and in harsh conditions. Especially when it rains, which exposes them to the risks of traffic accidents, falls and various injuries. Poor infrastructure harms the population and has intensified in recent years due to climate change and massive rain events.
