Qatar Charity hands over 250 housing units to Syrian IDPs

Qatar Charity (QC) completed a qualitative project funded by OCHA in northern Syria, handing over 250 housing units to internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Oyoun Ara camp.

The project was implemented in response to the humanitarian situation in the camp, where the tents were replaced with housing units built of concrete and precast panels to ensure a dignified life for the IDP families living in the camp and alleviate their suffering.

Each housing unit, which has two rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom, was equipped with all necessities, in addition to providing a water storage tank and building an integrated sewage system and a rainwater drainage system.
