3. Survey location details Survey location:
Al Obady Wheat Store, Al Banar province.
Southern outskirts of Al Obady, 2 km south of CP ‘Green’ (MGRS GU0531913317).
Survey location address:
It’s widely known that a non-state armed group occupied this area for some time and were eventually pushed north along the river and the main supply routes into the west. They occupied the area for approximately 12 months and prepared large areas for defence generally from the south. Locally, areas were also prepared for defence from all directions. This area and site received indirect and direct fire from both sides including air-dropped weapons, artillery, mortars and rockets (conventional and improvised), projected grenades (40 mm) and small arms. The wheat store was a new facility before the recent fighting and purpose built to hold and distribute large volumes of wheat and grain across Banar province by road and rail. Wheat supply for Northern Banar is currently being held across the border because there isn’t a safe and secure facility to store large amounts of wheat in the area. Wheat and grain distributors are reluctant to transport supplies over the border in large quantities until there is a suitable facility to store and distribute, which will greatly enhance the food supply network to hundreds of thousands of Banar citizens. With clearance of specific areas of the wheat store, the wheat and grain will be able to be stored and distributed and the perimeter wall will be repaired for security.
