Data related to those affected by Feb earthquake must be finalized, Arnous stresses

Aleppo, Prime Minister Hussein Arnous attached great importance to completing data related to those affected by the earthquake in order to benefit from the support provided by the national fund to support victims of the earthquake, and not to confuse the damages in buildings resulted from terrorism and those resulted from the earthquake. This came in another meeting chaired by Premier Arnous in Aleppo with members of the executive offices of the governorate and city councils, and directors of institutions, service departments, and economic activities. It was decided to form a tripartite committee from the Aleppo City Council, the Engineers Syndicate, and the University of Aleppo to register and evaluate dangerous buildings damaged by the earthquake that need demolition within planned areas or areas of unauthorized housing. That was to enable citizens to benefit from the support provided by the Fund, after it was approved to provide support for the segment C including affected people whose homes were demoli shed or will be demolished due to the earthquake, and in accordance with the decisions issued by the concerned authorities in this regard. Arnous underlined the need to stop construction violations, hold negligent parties accountable in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, along with providing facilitations and simplifying procedures to improve the status of the old city of Aleppo.
