UN is seeking $3.3 billion for Syria and $5.5 billion for Syrian refugees at Brussels donor conference
About 11.7 million Syrians still depend on aid and more than 6 million of them have been forced from their homes but remain in the country.
The European Union, the world's biggest aid donor, announced that it would provide $633 million this year, while planning to offer the same amount next year and in 2021. "We have to keep focused on a political solution for the conflict in Syria. It's not over yet. People need our support."
