The representation office of Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) in Yemen completed a housing project in Al-Afirah village, Jabal Habashi District, western Taiz, encouraging displaced and disaster-affected families to return to their homes.
Totaling $225,000 (QR 821,502) in value, the project involved the construction of 86 27.41sq m 2BHK housing units.
During the handover ceremony, Yahya Ismail, director-general of Jabal Habashi District, said: “This project is a key step towards normal life, by helping the internally displaced people (IDPs) return to their homes and restore social stability. I highly value QRCS’ continuous support and significant initiatives, which respond to the needs of locals and change their living conditions”.
He noted that the affected families across the district were still suffering from the impact of conflict and flash floods. They are in dire need of multifaceted humanitarian interventions to help them overcome these circumstances.
Ahmed Hassan al-Sharaji, head of QRCS’ office in Yemen, explained that the project was part of their humanitarian efforts to improve the living conditions of displaced families.
“Such strategic projects strengthen community recovery and achieve stability, as part of our interventions to provide sustainable solutions for affected families that lost their homes as a result of conflicts and emergencies,” said al-Sharaji. “We have been able to construct housing units that provide a safe environment for the beneficiaries, preserve their dignity, and give them a new start for settlement”.
The IDP issue in Yemen remains one of the major humanitarian challenges resulting from 10 years of conflict. Millions of IDPs are experiencing severe difficulties that require long-term support to rebuild their lives and improve their living conditions.
According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Yemen has approximately 4.5mn IDPs, accounting for 14% of the country’s total population of nearly 30mn.
In response to this growing need, QRCS is planning to renovate and rehabilitate 100 homes, for the benefit of 600 displaced and poor people, at a total cost of QR1,050,000.
To make these plans a reality, QRCS urges he benevolent people both in Qatar and beyond to support this charitable project. Donations can be paid via the website (https://qrcs.qa/yemensh1), donor service (66666364), home donation collection (33998898), or QRCS’ donation collection points at malls and shopping centres.
