BRUSSELS - The United Nations will seek billions of dollars in additional aid for Syria on Thursday, seeking to overcome fatigue among donors after eight years of civil war and divisions over how to deal with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
“We don’t want the people of Syria to be forgotten at a time when the international community seems to care a little bit less,” said Federica Mogherini, foreign policy chief for the European Union, the world’s biggest aid donor, which is hosting the conference with the United Nations. “It’s not over yet.”
Despite funding by the EU, Norway and some Gulf countries, last year 65 percent of the $3.4 billion sought for people inside Syria came through. A demand for $5.6 billion for the region’s refugee was 62 percent funded, the United Nations said. The EU has repeatedly made longer-term reconstruction support conditional on a U.N.-led peace process to end a war that has killed hundreds of thousands of people.
Germany, France and the Netherlands are forthright in defending a policy of withholding reconstruction money until a transition away from Assad is under way.
