WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States will provide more than $596 million in new humanitarian aide to respond to the Syrian crisis, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday.
The assistance is designed to help many of the estimated 13.4 million Syrians inside Syria, as well as 5.6 million Syrian refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt, Blinken said in a statement.
