Qatar launches housing project for disaster-affected families in Yemen
TAIZ, Yemen (MNTV) – Qatar has launched a project to construct 86 homes for families affected by disasters in Taiz, Yemen, with a budget of $225,000.
The initiative, enabled by Qatar Red Crescent Society, aims to encourage displaced families to return to their home village of Al-Afirah by providing safe, well-designed, and high-quality housing units.
The project, implemented by QRCS’s representation office in Yemen, focuses on rebuilding communities devastated by conflict and natural disasters, according to The Peninsula.
Each home, spanning 27.41 square meters, will feature two bedrooms, ensuring durable and comfortable living conditions for displaced families.
During the inauguration ceremony, Fares Al-Maliki, director-general of Jabal Habashi District, emphasized the importance of the initiative.
“This project targets the most vulnerable families, including victims of war and flash floods. These homes will promote community stability and enable internally displaced persons (IDPs) to return to their villages,” he said.
Mohamed Bajash, head of the community committees, praised the project for addressing the needs of families displaced seven years ago.
“Many homes were destroyed due to clashes, leaving hundreds of families unable to return. This initiative will alleviate their suffering. We thank QRCS and urge continued support in areas like shelter, food, and water,” he commented.
Globally, QRCS plans to implement five shelter projects benefiting over 5,100 IDPs in Yemen, Niger, Sudan, and Bangladesh, with a total investment of 137,000 Qatri riyals.
These efforts align with QRCS’s mission to address the needs of approximately 60 million people displaced worldwide due to conflicts and wars.
The housing project in Taiz underscores QRCS’s dedication to restoring stability and improving living conditions for disaster-affected families.
By providing safe homes and fostering community rebuilding, the initiative aims to empower displaced families and pave the way for long-term recovery.
