Bahrain has intensified efforts to repair damaged homes and restore affected areas following recent incidents, placing housing rehabilitation and infrastructure resilience at the forefront of its priorities.

The 297th meeting of the Ministerial Committee for Development Projects and Infrastructure, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister, His Excellency Shaikh Khalid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, reviewed the progress of ongoing repair works for citizens’ homes affected by recent attacks.

The committee reaffirmed the government’s commitment, in line with directives from His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to fully address structural damages and ensure safe living conditions for affected families.

Efforts

Officials highlighted the Ministry of Works’ efforts, in coordination with relevant authorities, to assess and document damage across impacted areas.

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning was also commended for its field visits to Al Hidd Housing City, where repair operations are underway, and for ensuring that work progresses according to set timelines.

To support affected families during the repair period, the committee reviewed the readiness of fully furnished temporary housing units in Salman City, designed to accommodate residents until their homes in Al Hidd and Sitra are restored.

In parallel, the meeting addressed infrastructure resilience during recent heavy rainfall, commending drainage response efforts by municipal and works teams.

It also directed the development of long-term solutions for unpaved roads to improve mobility during adverse weather.
