Work Starts on a 1,000-Metre Sewage Network in Husseiniyeh, Rif Dimashq

What was announced

Implementation has begun on a 1,000-metre sewage network in the Husseiniyeh area of Rif Dimashq, according to the Rif Dimashq Governorate's official Telegram channel. The post presents the works as a response to residents' complaints about the lack of a sewage network.

Parties involved

• Sponsored by the Rif Dimashq Governorate and the administration of the Kiswa and South Damascus area
• Delivered in cooperation between the Husseiniyeh municipality, UNICEF and Global

Expected impact

The announcement says residents had waited about seven years for the network and links its absence to standing water, odours, insects and hygiene problems around homes. Completing the network is expected to ease these conditions. The post does not state the project value, funding split, contractor or completion date.
