Sand dunes imperil Tiban homes in Lahj
Al-Ouara Village in Tuban District, Lahj Governorate, is facing a problem of encroaching sand dunes that lead to the closure of homes and destruction of agricultural lands, especially during windy seasons, despite local initiatives and the availability of machinery to assist. It is estimated that about 28 to 30 houses near the sandbar are suffering significant damage or are at risk of collapsing. The problem has worsened due to the deteriorating economic situation and the ongoing absence of permanent solutions. The residents are calling on authorities to support the creation of environmental barriers or the planting of a green belt to prevent further sand encroachment. The residents have pointed out that the winds blow inside their homes, forcing them to clean vast amounts of sand daily, which disrupts their lives and increases financial and human losses. The governor has previously visited the area to assess the extent of the disaster.
