Qatar to deliver World Cup mobile homes to affected areas of the quake striken zones in Turkey and Syria

10,000 mobile homes that were used as accommodations during the 2022 World Cup are being sent by Qatar to earthquake-affected regions in Turkey and Syria.

Two earthquakes that shook the two nations a week ago are thought to have killed close to 40,000 people.

Aid organisations have warned that the number of homeless people could be much higher in Syria, where more than a million people have been rendered homeless.

Rescue efforts in the two nations are starting to slow down.

The Qatari Fund for Development, a government body responsible for international development and foreign aid, tweeted a video of the first batch of accommodations being sent to affected areas.

A Qatari official said: “The plans of the 2022 World Cup always intended for such temporary accommodations to be donated.

“However, in view of the urgent needs in Turkey and Syria, we have taken the decision to ship our cabins and caravans to the region, providing much needed and immediate support to the people of Turkey and Syria.”
