Türkiye’ – Wednesday, June 30, 2021 –The fourth phase of the SRTF’s multi-phase food security project, “Complementary Project for Enhancing Food Security in the North of Aleppo Governorate”, received a delivery of Polypropylene (PP) sacks.

In addition to the PP sacks, the project also received 100 high-density polyethylene (HDPE) woven material covers. The HDPE covers will be used to cover the wheat heaps as a second layer after using polyethylene (PE) sheets size (24*16 meters) to protect the wheat heaps sacks from inclement weather conditions.

The 50 rolls of PE sheets size (48*9 meters) will be used under the wheat sack heaps to protect from rain and ground moisture and the 100 rolls of PE sheets size (24*16 meters) will be used to keep the wheat tightly covered so that the insecticide that is placed under it does not leak out.
