"EU Pledges Billions Amid Fears of Aid Cuts for Conflict-Hit Syrians"
TL;DR
International donors have pledged $8.1 billion in grants and loans to support Syrians affected by war, poverty, and hunger, surpassing the UN's appeal but falling short of last year's $10.3 billion. The reduced commitment reflects donor fatigue amid global conflicts in Ukraine, Sudan, and Gaza. The funds aim to assist both Syrians within the country and 5.7 million refugees in neighboring nations. Aid organizations stress the need for sustainable solutions to ensure safe and voluntary refugee returns, as conditions in Syria remain dire.
