Sewage system:
Sewage is the biggest problem as it accumulates in the lower
levels and creates risk of explosion.
According to the data of AHED (2007), less than 50 percent of
households are connected to formal sewage system in the area.
The existing connection is mainly a result of an official Canadian
funding project superintended by one internal NGO.
Electricity:
Electricity tampering is
conducted in the area by
households that have no legal
connection.
However, there are Some
households having electricity
connection with the supply
from the State which can be
noticed from the meter in
front of the houses .
The power lines frequently
fire roof-top of households
underneath because of
spontaneous combustion and
the easily ignited roof
materials such as straw, rags
or wood (AHED, 2007).
Waste management:
There is no existing formal garbage
collection system in the area.
However, there is one family collects and
classifies garbage and sells sorted
garbage for recycling. (AHED, 2007).
Housing conditions:
The buildings under construction still
present over the whole area .
The structure of buildings is
considerably good.
However, without any plan or
regulation, the buildings have poor light
and ventilation; while the areas have
narrow unpaved streets with no open
spaces and few public services

Educational Services
According to the data of AHED (2007),
there are two primary schools in
Ezbet el Haggana. However, they are
not sufficient for the students in the
area and their infrastructures.
There are some private schools and
educational centres which also
providing summer courses in Ezbet el
Haggana where only children from
middle-income families can attend
and they arent in a good condition.
Socio-Economic:
The ground floors of the buildings in main
streets out there are mostly commercial
activities which can be split into retailing
and manufacturing.
The retailing can be often seen , the
manufacturing is rarely found.
However, most income is generated on a
daily basis, which can have impact on
limiting the planning of investments.
Many small industries and productive
activities in Ezbet el Haggana interrelate
to formal economic activities in the city.
Retail shops
Health risks:
Inhabitants living in unhealthy
environment and constant presence of
pathogenic micro-organisms may have
health risks arise from poor sanitation,
lack of clean water, poorly ventilated
living and working condition, and from
air and industrial pollution (UNFPA,
2007).
Moreover, There is one sector of the
area that has the high voltage
transmission lines over the
households. The high voltage
transmission lines cause the most
dangerous zone and the lowest land
price for that part of the Ezbet El
Haggana.
