The European Union and its partners have pledged 5.8 billion euros ($6.3 billion) for Syria and its neighbours, said the EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Monday.
"The EU and its partners just pledged 5.8 billion euros for Syria and its neighbours. This will support Syria at a crucial time of transition and address the dire needs on the ground," wrote Kallas on social media platform X.
Syria has been hit with widespread violence over the last few weeks, after Syria's Sunni Islamist-led authorities said their security forces came under attack by militants loyal to the ousted president, Bashar al-Assad, whose Alawite family come from the coastal region.
