RIYADH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has signed a joint executive program via video conference with a civil-society organization to provide 300 temporary housing units for the 2023 earthquake victims in Syria, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Friday.
The initiative will benefit 300 families, totaling 1,330 individuals in several camps in the Jandairis area of Aleppo. The deal was signed by KSrelief Assistant Supervisor General for Operations and Programs Eng. Ahmed bin Ali Al-Baiz.
Under the pact, existing fabric tents in the targeted camps will be replaced with 300 temporary housing units, each consisting of two rooms, a hall with a kitchen, and a bathroom, covering an area of 30 square meters. Additionally, 300 solar energy systems and 300 water tanks with a capacity of 500 liters will also be installed, along with a sewage network for the housing units.
