Tripoli, 28 April:
Sirt eLocal Council approved on Thursday four sites for the construction of 2,500 new prefabricated housing units. These housing . . .[restrict]units are a fast and temporary measure to house families whose homes had been destroyed or badly damaged during the February 17 Revolution.
The manager of the Sirte branch of the Housing and Infrastructure Board (HIB) further added that the board would be the executing arm of these projects and that they would be carried out on a 50-hectare site divided into four areas.
He went on to assure that these prefabricated units would be of high standards with a size of 140 square meters each. The life span of these express prefabricated units was 25 years, he added.
The city of Sirte suffered massive damage to its infrastructure and its residential areas in the last weeks of Libya’s liberation war as the final remnants of the old regime, as well as the dictator himself, sought refuge there. The street-by-street and house-by-house fighting left many of the city’s residents homeless. [/restrict]
