| UN wants USD $374 million in humanitarian aid for Syria |
| 2012-09-08 |
 UNITED NATIONS -- The United Nations nearly doubled its humanitarian appeal for Syria on Friday, seeking $347 million for people in need, including more than half a million children forced to flee their homes. With the civil war intensifying, the number of people in need of assistance has doubled since July to 2.5 million, prompting the dramatic increase in the appeal for aid. |

| #6 OK, $374 million sounds like a lot of money, but you've got to remember that the actual "throughput" to refugees after UN administrative costs would be about $37.40, probably in the form of an autographed picture of Kofi Annan. Plus, think of the positive impact this would have on 4-star restaurants on the east side of Manhattan, and on employment in the Swiss banking industry. |
