US IS COMMITTED TO HELP GIVING ASSISTANCE TO THE SYRIANS VICTIMS OF THE CONFLICT
Many people want to help those affected by the crisis in Syria, but don´t know where to begin. The best way to help those affected by a disaster overseas is to make a monetary donation to a reputable humanitarian organisation working in the region. USAID´s Center for International Disaster Information (CIDI) posts lists of organisations that are responding to particular disasters. You can also help to save lives and reduce human suffering after crises by sharing information within your communities -- schools, faith-based organisations, neighbourhoods -- about needs-based assistance. CIDI has online toolkits that can help you get started. The United States remains committed to helping the innocent children, women, and men affected by the ongoing conflict in Syria. Total U.S. humanitarian assistance since the start of the conflict in March 2011 is now more than $4.1 billion. The United States remains the single-largest donor of humanitarian aid for those affected by Syria crisis, which has become the biggest humanitarian emergency of our era.
However, no amount of humanitarian aid can meet the tremendous needs of the Syrians displaced inside the country and beyond its borders. To bring an end to the suffering and violence, the United States continues to work with the international community to reach a negotiated political solution to the conflict in Syria. Until there is a negotiated political settlement, the State Department´s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) will continue to support international efforts to deliver aid and alleviate suffering. To do this, we will continue to need your help and your voices speaking up in support of what we are doing and explaining to the public the importance of the aid we direct to humanitarian organisations."
