The Governor of Nineveh, Najm al-Jubouri, identified the most prominent challenges to rebuilding the governorate.
Al-Jubouri said in an interview with the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The problem of accumulation of rubble in Mosul represents one of the challenges facing the process of rebuilding neighborhoods and removing the remnants of ISIS," noting that "the province is working according to the capabilities that it has, and the Minister of Defense and the Army Chief of Staff supported it." The province, by engineering effort, for a period of three months, and the governorate hoped during this period to remove a lot of rubble from the old city, but there are thousands of tons, in addition to the difficulty of working in some areas.
He added that "the PMF sent military engineering and offered to help in removing the rubble from some areas, and the governorate is waiting for their vehicles to arrive to start removing the rubble," noting that "the Minister of Water Resources donated six wheels, a flip-flop and a shaft to help."
Al-Jubouri indicated that he “appealed to the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Municipalities and to the Prime Minister to support the governorate in removing these rubble and sending them vehicles.” He affirmed that “the municipality of Mosul had more than 2000 different mechanisms, but ISIS terrorist gangs stole some of them and destroyed others. And what the governorate owns now is about 300 vehicles, which the Oil Ministry needs to provide fuel for their operation. "
