WEB Notes: $7.7 billion dollars and tons of our U.S. taxpayer dollars are included in that. Our taxpayer dollars also funded the destruction of Syria. I imagine we are not far off from the final destruction of Damascus, (Isaiah 17:1).
The United Nations raised $7.7bn in humanitarian aid for Syria on Tuesday, where more than nine years of war have displaced half of the country’s population in a crisis exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Brussels IV Conference on Supporting the Future of Syria and the Region raised less than the almost $10bn sought by UN agencies. But according to some officials, the pledges were higher than expected, given the economic shock of Covid-19 on many governments and shortfalls in other aid appeals, notably for Yemen earlier this month.
