UK pledges £400m to Syrian crisis

Baladi News

The UK government is to pledge an additional £100m for Syria crisis response this year, on top of the £300m already allocated for 2019.

The £400m will support ongoing aid "to those most in need" both in Syria and in the neighbouring countries where many have fled since war broke out.

Funds will provide access to clean water, food, clothes and shelter, as well as emergency medical care.

The UK has donated more than £2.8bn to the Syrian crisis since 2012, including more than 10 million vaccines and 140 million medical consultations.
