The Biden administration has announced more than $800 million in new humanitarian assistance for Syria, a major tranche of aid that comes as the United Nations’ aid lifeline to northwest Syria is in jeopardy.
“This assistance demonstrates that, even as we work to address other conflicts around the world, the United States maintains our unshakable commitment to the Syrian people,” US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said in Brussels Tuesday during a pledging conference for Syria.
