The United Nations said on Monday that 700 families had been destroyed as a result of the war against Da'ash, noting that they had received temporary housing units in 26 neighborhoods west of the city.

"Many displaced Iraqi refugees want to return to their homes and resume their lives, but the reconstruction of Mosul is a huge task that will take years," the site quoted UN refugee agency representative Bruno Guido as saying. "The housing units will provide shelter for displaced people for up to To three years and this will give them room to breathe in order to develop longer-term plans. "

"Japan has donated US $ 4.5 million for camp management services, cash assistance and temporary housing programs to support displaced people and returnees in Mosul to cope with the harsh winter conditions. Some 18,000 people will benefit from cash assistance, while 4,200 people will live in new housing units . "

"We are still concerned about the unstable humanitarian situation in western Mosul, even after it was liberated from the battle, where many houses were completely destroyed or severely damaged," Japanese Ambassador to Iraq Fumio Iwai said.

"His country strongly hopes to provide housing units and emergency cash assistance to help displaced people and returnees secure their shelters and basic needs in response to the transitional period to achieve greater stability and reconstruction in the city," he said.
