Ghajnsielem was one of the worst hit localities in Gozo during this morning’s thunderstorm and heavy rain, with around 99mm recorded causing flooding in the area.
Ghajnsielem Mayor Kevin Cauchi has urged the public to please avoid the Pjazza tad-Dehra and surrounding area due to the flooding. He said that ”as soon as situation returns to normal we will start the cleanup.”
He thanked Local Council worker Frankie Saliba for the coordination early this morning with Civil Protection and Police.
Marsalforn has also suffered flooding down through the valley to the seafront.

How could this area got flooded is mind blowing when underneath this very street there is a tunnel wide enough for 2 cars. The government shall be held responsible for this incompetency of road building.
I’ve no idea what the purpose of the Ghajnsielem tunnel is Slide, or even if it exists, but if it does then I suspect it doesn’t have anything to do with drainage. There’s a tunnel underneath the English Channel but if it was built as a drain, that’s not working either.
