Syria’s Hama province clears more than 79,000 cubic meters of debris amid recovery efforts

HAMA: Syrian emergency teams have removed more than 79,000 cubic meters of debris from northern and eastern areas of Hama province as part of continuing recovery operations aimed at restoring infrastructure and facilitating the return of displaced residents.

Mohammad Al-Sheikh Qaddour, director of Emergency and Disaster Management in Hama, said that cleanup crews cleared 79,521 cubic meters of rubble from three main locations: 60,808 cubic meters in Morek, 15,431 cubic meters in Aqirbat, and 3,282 cubic meters in Lahaya village.

Qaddour said that the campaign formed part of broader early recovery efforts focused on improving public services and creating safer conditions in communities affected by years of civil war.

He said that debris removal operations were continuing in other targeted areas across the province.

Residents said that the cleanup campaign had helped to reopen blocked roads and public spaces while reducing environmental and public health risks ahead of the summer season.

The Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management said that since the launch of the campaign on March 1, 198,199 cubic meters of debris had been removed across Hama province as part of rehabilitation and stabilization efforts.
