22 families comprising a total of 106 individuals participated in the draw. These families were allocated housing based on their composition – 9 families were provided with three-room houses, while 9 others were allocated four-room houses, and 4 families got spacious five-room houses. These families had previously sought temporary refuge in the urban domains of Baku and Sumgait, within the Absheron region.
