Bahrain’s Housing Ministry has started distributing the units of Al-Lawzi housing project to beneficiaries, a media report said.

This follows the order of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister, to distribute 5,000 housing units, within the directives of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to meet the citizens’ needs marking the holy month of Ramadan, reported Bahrain News Agency (BNA).

Housing Minister Bassim bin Yacoob Al-Hamar said that the distribution process will continue until the end of next week, according to the report.

He explained that Al-Lawzi and the Salman Town are among the projects covered by an agreement with Naseej Properties Company for constructing affordable and social housing on government-owned lands.

The Al-Lawzi housing project is a realistic translation of HM the King’s directives to build 40,000 housing units, from which the government’s commitment to constructing 25,000 units within its current action plan emanates, Al-Hamar stated.
