The houses covering 500 to 1,000 sq. meters are designed to meet the requirements of displaced families. The project is provided with necessary infrastructure facilities. About 100 women were employed to make furniture for the houses. The foundation intends to build 10,000 housing units for Jazan’s displaced individuals and families as a result of the violence involving Yemeni intruders in November 2009. Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah ordered the project when he visited Jazan to inspect the armed forces stationed along the Kingdom’s southern border with Yemen.
Brig. Hamoud Al-Hassani, the director of Civil Defense in Jazan, said more than 5,000 families had been evacuated from the border with Yemen in the midst of fighting between the intruders and Saudi Armed forces.
