In addition to the grants, there are also 2.5 billion euros in loans included in the total amount pledged for the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pledges surpassed $4.07 billion that was requested by the United Nations (U.N.) but was also a significant drop from amounts pledged in past years due to focusing attention on other conflicts in Ukraine, Sudan, and Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, this year&#8217;s funding is intended to aid both Syrians within Syria and about 5.7 million Syrian refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan, who face economic challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the 2023 Brussels conference, donors committed $10.3 billion after a devastating earthquake that hit Turkey and northern Syria, which claimed over 59,000 lives, including 6,000 in Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years, U.N. agencies and other international aid organizations have faced difficulties with decreased budgets, which have led to the reduction or elimination of aid programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, eight EU member states, including Cyprus and Hungary, reiterated their calls for the reevaluation of areas in Syria as safe to return Syrian refugees during the conference in Brussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas, aid groups stressed it is necessary to provide sustainable solutions for Syrians to return, such as improving infrastructure and creating job opportunities in Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Ster Youssef<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 International donors gathered in Brussels announced on Monday committing 7.5 billion euros ($8.1 billion) in grants and loans to assist Syrians affected by conflict, poverty, and hunger not only this year but also into the future.
