They housed 250 families of whom have arrived in the town, but the project was stopped because of the lack of financial support.<\/div>\n<div><b>Temporary Solutions<\/b><\/div>\n<div>Al-Baridy indicated that what they have done are temporary solutions,&nbsp; explaining that winter is coming, \u201cthese apartments are all without doors, windows and non-cladding, allowing air to leak through block holes, and what we did were only emergency solutions, we need durable solutions\u201d.<\/div>\n<div>regarding the ability of the council and the people of the town to find durable solutions, al-Baridy said: &#8220;As a civil initiative, we cannot carry out these projects, so we call on organizations and all actors to intervene to help us secure these IDPs, in terms of installing doors and windows\u201d.<\/div>\n<div>In addition to these conditions, most of the families&#8217; breadwinners are unemployed, and need a source of income to secure their families&#8217;&nbsp; livelihood.<\/div>\n<div><b>Winter without doors<\/b><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;The local council has secured a house for us and equipped it with water tank and bathrooms, but the house has no doors nor windows.

to return to their village after their house was reduced to rubble as a result of the heavy shelling, complaining about the difficulty of living in light of the high prices of materials.<\/div>\n<div>Most IDPs are still struggling to return to their villages across Idlib, and everyone is concerned about the difficult living conditions with the advent of winter, while local councils are unable to provide them with adequate assistance, especially in the absence of relief and service organizations, with limited employment opportunities and widespread unemployment.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Idlib \u2013 North-Press Agency Jawad&nbsp;
