Britain has pledged a £50 million ($63 million) aid package to support vulnerable Syrians following the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad, addressing urgent humanitarian needs both within Syria and in neighboring countries.
Britain announced a £50 million ($63 million) aid package to support vulnerable Syrians after rebels ousted President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday. This comes as millions of Syrians continue to require humanitarian assistance following over a decade of civil war that has devastated the country's infrastructure and displaced millions.
The aid package will provide essential support, including food, shelter, emergency healthcare, and protection for the most vulnerable. A total of £30 million will be directed to help over a million people within Syria, with funds mainly distributed through U.N. channels. Additionally, the funds will be used to rehabilitate essential services like water supplies, hospitals, and schools.
To assist Syrians in neighboring countries, £10 million will go to the World Food Programme (WFP) in Lebanon, while £10 million will support efforts in Jordan through both WFP and the U.N. refugee agency.
The British government remains committed to addressing the growing humanitarian crisis in Syria and its surrounding regions, as the conflict enters its 12th year.
