United Nations, June 30 (RHC)-- The United Nations has pushed governments at a virtual conference for nearly $10 billion in aid for Syria, where nine years of war has displaced millions in a humanitarian crisis exacerbated by soaring food prices and the coronavirus crisis.
The now annual fund-raising round for Syria brought together 60 governments and non-official agencies via video in an event hosted by the European Union.
"Syrian men, women and children have experienced injury, displacement, destruction, terror ... on a massive scale," said UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen. "The danger of COVID-19 remains acute."
