The Syrian Arab Red Crescent teams in Deir Ezzor province have completed the installation of 13 water tanks with a capacity of 5 cubic meters each, in addition to two larger tanks (bladders) with capacities of 15 and 10 cubic meters respectively, in the villages of Al-Shoula, Kabajeb, and Haribsha in the southern part of the province, according to a report from DeirEzzor24 Network.
Our correspondent added that the Red Crescent also distributed 10-liter water jerrycans to 370 families settled in those areas, with joint support from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and UNICEF.
“Sultan Al-Hussein,” a resident of Al-Shoula, told DeirEzzor24:
“The distribution of tanks and jerrycans is a very important step for us as newly returning families. We used to suffer from severe water shortages and had difficulty accessing clean drinking water. This support from the Red Crescent and international organizations gave us a sense of safety and restored some of the basic life essentials we had been missing for years.”
The tanks are being filled daily to meet residents’ water needs a vital effort aimed at enhancing stability in areas gradually witnessing the return of population after years of destruction and neglect.
These efforts are part of a broader plan to improve basic services in the southern countryside of Deir Ezzor, which has long suffered from severe shortages of essential resources.
