TRANSFORMING JEDDAH


The slum areas all over the city of Jeddah, including old apartment buildings, businesses, and crowded maze-like residential areas, are being torn down and will be rebuilt. It has displaced thousands of residents, mainly foreign workers. There are sectors of the city that are now rubble, resembling a war zone.

A war zone seems appropriate.
