Middle East Crisis – USA endeavors to reach to those suffering in Syria
The United States is pursuing every avenue to get humanitarian relief to those affected by the violence in Syria and is engaged in focused diplomatic efforts to secure full and unfettered access for humanitarian organizations to
reach those in need.
The United States is providing an additional $8 million in humanitarian assistance to support the people of Syria, bringing the total amount of U.S. emergency aid to nearly $33 million to date for this crisis.
The country’s assistance is through international and non-governmental humanitarian partners, including: $10.5 million to the World Food Program (WFP); $8.5 million to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR);
$7.8 million to non-governmental organizations (NGOs); $3 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA); and $3 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
