Sheltering refugees in troubled spots

International military companies are targeting political hotspots in the Middle East to supply mobile shelters and hospitals at refugee camps, especially following the humanitarian crisis of the mass exodus of Syrian refugees into neighbouring countries. Janada, a Bahrain-based consultant for military equipment, is looking for business opportunities in Turkey and Jordan where Syrian refugee camps are located to sell its military tents as shelter for the refugees, the company president told Gulf News. “They have tents there but they are cheap and not comfortable,” said Nader Eldajani, president and chief executive of Janada, on the sidelines of Idex in its third day. “Our tents are fire resistant, endure high winds and they are easy to up in any location, even mountainous areas, because of a special design that makes it stable on uneven ground,” he said.
