Saudi Arabia's Housing Initiatives for Syrian's Fleeing War

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was one of the leading countries who responded to Syria's humanitarian appeal starting with a generous donation of US $10 Million handed to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), through its Saudi Fund for Development.

 

More recently, Saudi Arabia in its campaign to support displaced Syrians, have given over 200 cheques to 200 Syrian refugee families in Lebanon’s Barja area, south of Beirut, to help refugee's pay housing rent.

The Campaign’s Regional Director in Lebanon, Walid Al-Jalal, said in a statement that this comes within the framework of the Kingdom’s initiative to provide $1.8 million in rent money for displaced Syrians.

 

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is also helping Syrian refugees to find places of residence in northern Jordan, where there are massive influxes of refugees fleeing from their oppressive dictator Bashar al-Assad. 

"All our thanks to Saudi Arabia for its material and moral help and for protection and safety provided for those refugees, who are looking everywhere for shelter," acknowledged Emad Almajali, a Human Rights activist in Jordan.

 

Furthermore, a Jordanian human rights advocate has informed us that Saudi's national campaign to support brothers in Syria is helping 500 displaced Syrian families in Jordan secure rental accommodation. 

"Syrian families benefiting from this aid are families with special needs, widows, orphans and people facing tough conditions," said Saed al-Orabi, who heads up the campaign in Jordan.
