U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the U.N. Security Council the new donation is in addition to the over $800 million in added U.S. humanitarian aid for Syria that she announced at a donor’s conference in Brussels in May.
She said the new $756 million in assistance “will bring immediate relief to millions of refugees and displaced persons.”
“ It will help humanitarian partners provide clean water, food, hygiene and relief supplies, shelter, protection services, and critical health and nutrition assistance, and it will include support for early recovery programs across the entire country,” she said.
Thomas-Greenfield, who visited Syrian refugees and aid deliveries across the Syria-Turkey border this summer, said “the United States remains the world’s largest donor to Syria because we are committed …. to serving the people of the world.”
More US taxpayer dollars going up in smoke !!
All This spending is going to make a slice of pizza $10 soon
And who gets 10% of that?
The big man will soon have another beach house in Delaware with so much 10% cuts BTW noting from Saudi Arabia
the immediate questions that comes to mind is, what does USA stand to gain by helping syria? why not let Russia take the slack, they prolonged this war, their side won, let them pick up the pieces
What people don’t realize is that these aid packages always come with strings attached, behind closed doors, not publicized the US always makes demands, itsbasically aid = influence. So its possible this aid comes conditioned that Syria will limit Iran’s influence in their country.
So essentially this helps Israel.
