Beirut, November 09 (QNA) - Qatar Charity (QC) inaugurated the "Al Adaam" camp in Lebanon.

The camp aims to provide temporary, safe shelter for 640 displaced people from affected families forced to leave their homes in southern Lebanon.

The project responds to the needs of families whose homes have been destroyed or damaged beyond habitability. It provides temporary accommodation in prefabricated housing units (caravans) until their homes can be repaired or rebuilt, or permanent housing alternatives become available.

Speaking at the opening, HE Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Lebanon Haneen Sayed affirmed that the State of Qatar has consistently stood by Lebanon. She noted that the project allows families to move from sheltering in schools to better accommodation that preserves their dignity and privacy.

For his part, Mayor of Froun Hassan Bazzi thanked QC for completing the project, indicating that it will provide housing for more than 19 families who have lost their homes, ensuring their privacy and dignity.

The project forms part of Qatar Charity's efforts to address winter-related risks and respond to urgent humanitarian needs in Lebanon, with a focus on providing temporary shelter that preserves the privacy and dignity of affected families during displacement.

Affected families face challenges that extend beyond the loss of their homes, including rising rental costs and disruptions to essential services, alongside pressure on shelters and host communities. (QNA)
