Biden Administration to Ease Restrictions on Humanitarian Aid to Syria, Supporting New Government
Jan 6, 2025, 08:35 AM
The Biden administration is set to announce on Monday a relaxation of restrictions on humanitarian aid to Syria, aiming to expedite the delivery of essential supplies such as water, electricity, and other humanitarian goods. This move comes in the wake of President Bashar al-Assad's downfall and is intended to support the new government in Damascus without lifting the broader sanctions that remain in place. The U.S. Treasury Department will issue waivers to aid groups and companies involved in providing these essentials for the next six months, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal. The initiative is a limited show of support for the new Syrian leadership, which is led by a coalition of opposition groups, and is designed to improve the lives of Syrians while maintaining pressure on the country through sanctions.
