Nasser Al-Bassam, the head of the delegation of the Kuwaiti volunteer team visiting Yemen, said in a statement to the Kuwaiti news agency (KUNA) that the residential village project consists of 120 housing units, each of which includes two rooms, a kitchen, and a courtyard.

Each housing unit was provided with a solar system, a water tank, and a drainage network, in addition to shelter bags, bedding, and cooking tools.
