Aleppo, April 19 (SANA) Syria’s Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management launched a debris-removal project in the northern Aleppo countryside on Sunday as part of ongoing efforts to accelerate recovery and restore infrastructure in areas affected by years of war.
The project, carried out in coordination with the Aleppo governorate, targets areas in the northern Mount Simeon and Azaz districts. It was inaugurated by Emergency Minister Raed al-Saleh and Aleppo Governor Azzam al-Gharib, alongside local officials.
Over a six-month period, the initiative is expected to remove around 550,000 cubic meters of debris from more than 30 towns and cities, helping reopen roads and improve access to public services.
The project comes as part of a broader national recovery plan that has seen similar debris-removal campaigns launched in other regions, including the Hama and Idlib countryside.
In Hama, authorities have begun clearing operations in the towns of Mhardeh, Suran, al-Suqaylabiyah and Salamiyah, with more than half a million cubic meters of debris expected to be removed from roads, public squares and government buildings.
Earlier, a comparable effort was launched in parts of the Idlib countryside, targeting towns such as Khan Sheikhoun, Maaret al-Numan and Jisr al-Shughour, where large volumes of debris are being cleared following extensive damage.
Officials say these projects are aligned with national recovery plans aimed at rehabilitating infrastructure and facilitating the return of residents.
