The aim is to ease movement for residents and students and reduce the hazards of debris piled near schools and government institutions.

• Reopening the town's vital roads.
• Responding to requests from residents who wish to have rubble removed in front of their destroyed homes, in line with approved legal procedures.

Extent of Damage

Muqdad noted that damage in Harran al-Awamid ranges between 75 and 80 percent, covering government buildings, infrastructure and residents' homes. He added that removing rubble and reopening roads are important steps toward improving services and easing residents' movement.

Context of the Works
