found to be beyond repair, while 108 were partially salvageable. To
date, 28 homes have been fully restored and are ready for
habitation, with plans in place to restore an additional 30 homes
within this year. As of now, 13 families, comprising 48
individuals, have already returned to the village.
Restoration efforts have included the repair of two existing
transformers, as well as the complete restoration of power and gas
lines. New electricity, gas, and communication infrastructure have
been installed, while a water pump has been commissioned, and water
reservoirs with a total capacity of 190 cubic meters have been
cleaned. Additionally, a sub-artesian well has been repaired. The
restoration also extended to 8.4 kilometers of internal village
roads, and a new park has been established for the benefit of
