Sand dunes threaten Tuban homes
The article concerns the escalating problem of sand dunes in the village of Al-Wa'ara in Lahj Governorate, Yemen. Seasonal winds cause intense movement of the sand, leading to road closures, flooding of homes, and destruction of agricultural land. Despite local initiatives and temporary campaigns to remove the dunes, they continue to encroach. The article highlights that the sand dunes pose a significant threat to the residents' lives, especially the homes located along the sandy strip. It explains that climatic factors and the high costs of sand removal currently hinder sustainable solutions. The residents have called on local authorities to implement permanent solutions such as planting a green belt or providing equipment to lift the sand, in order to prevent future disasters.
