The Centre for the Reception, Allocation and Accommodation of Refugees in Syria has begun rebuilding infrastructure in 48 Syrian populated localities, Major General Alexei Tsygankov, the center’s chief, told reporters on Friday.
“As of today, the center is in charge of activities aimed at rebuilding the infrastructure and vital facilities in 48 populated localities,” he said.
The Damascus-based Centre for the Reception, Allocation and Accommodation of Refugees operates in close cooperation with the Syrian government, Tsygankov added.
