US to send $756 million in new aid to Syria |
2022-09-16 |
[Rudaw] The United States on Wednesday said it will provide $756 million in new humanitarian aid to war-torn Syria, where needs remain "too great." US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the UN Security Council the new donation is in addition to the $808 million Washington announced to Syria earlier this year. "This will help humanitarian partners provide clean water, food, hygiene and relief supplies, shelter, protection services, and critical health and nutrition assistance," Thomas-Greenfield wrote on her Twitter. United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a statement stressed the importance of an international agreement that allows the delivery of humanitarian aid across the border, deeming it a "lifeline" for Syrians who "rely on this aid to survive." "Cross-border deliveries ensure that life-saving aid including food, medicine, and other relief supplies reach people throughout northwest Syria, who rely on this aid to survive," Blinken said. In place since 2014, the aid delivery system across ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... ’s border into rebel-held Syria at the Bab al-Hawa crossing is the only way UN assistance can reach Syrians without passing areas controlled by Syrian government forces. UN Security Council in July adopted a resolution extending the relief mechanism for another six months. Washington says it has supplied about $15.7 billion in humanitarian aid for Syria since the civil war began 11 years ago. A peaceful uprising against Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad The Scourge of Hama... in March of 2011 turned into a full-scale civil war. The government used deadly force to crush the dissent with protests demanding Assad’s resignation erupting nationwide. About 13 million people were uprooted by Syria’s conflict. Around 6.8 million have fled the country while another 6.2 people were internally displaced within Syria, according to UN numbers. |

#8 At least some of it should be to the Kurds. Unfortunately, some will be to Turkey’s clients in Al Nusra’s territory, said clients including Moslem Brotherhood types and ISIS Reconquista survivors who found in Turkey a new paymaster willing to turn a blind eye to their past indiscretions. |

#1 Could this be a disguise for a cash advance to Iran to prime the JCPOA nuclear deal? It's not just for the poor people. |
