A humanitarian solutions company for refugees of the Syrian conflict has built 1,000 modular homes, in addition to modular schools, hospitals and mosques on the border with Turkey. Modular and Mobile Solutions of Ras Al Khaimah, an emirate that is part of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) located on the east side of the Persian Gulf, says the two-room with a wash area homes are large enough for a family of six, while the schools can accommodate 1,600 students. As thenational.ae informs MHProNews, Ben Long, managing partner of Modular and Mobile, says, “We prepare the panels and ship them to the Syrian border. We managed to build our project in four months. It is like a piece of jigsaw. It’s pre-cut, slotted together and tightened.” The company intends to open an office in Dubai at the International Humanitarian City.
