As many as 114 families affected by floods in Broom Mayfa'a District, Hadramout Governorate, are preparing to move into their new homes in the coming few days. This step turns a long page of suffering with natural disaster displacement, transforming the response from temporary emergency tent relief into a permanent residential project nearing completion.The roots of the tragedy trace back to the June 2020 floods, when a tropical depression struck the governorate, prompting authorities to declare Broom Mayfa'a a disaster area. At the time, the local authority's damage assessment committee reported that the cost of rebuilding 6 completely collapsed houses and repairing 105 partially damaged homes reached 492 million Yemeni Rials, while estimating total infrastructure damages across service sectors (roads, water, electricity, and agriculture) at approximately 7.44 billion Yemeni Rials (7,442,454,375 YER).With recurring flood damage in March 2024 across the Wadi Al-Muhammadiyin areas and roads connecting Al-Ula, Nataisha, and Wadi Naqab, finding radical solutions to end the suffering of families living in fragile homes became an urgent necessity.On November 22, 2024, a breakthrough was achieved when the KSrelief (King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre) announced the signing of a funding agreement for the Permanent Shelter Project, generously funded by the Abdul Kader Al Muhaidib Philanthropic Foundation and executed by the Benevolence Coalition for Humanitarian Relief (BCHR).Over nearly two years of continuous field operations since laying the foundation stone in late 2024, the project progressed through multiple phases: completion reached 35% in September 2025, climbing to 75% by April 2026. By mid-September 2026, the project entered its final stages with the site handover for water and sanitation network installations, directly funded by the local governorate authority to ensure the complex is fully habitable.The completed project comprises 114 integrated housing units, each consisting of two rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a small courtyard. The structural design incorporates social privacy for families, allows for future expansion, and adheres to environmental and climate safety standards to mitigate future natural disaster risks.As final touches and preparations wrap up in late September 2026, the residential complex in the Mayfa'a area stands ready to welcome its beneficiaries, completing a journey of recovery from floodwaters and temporary tents to safe, permanent housing.
