The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that Within the framework of the humanitarian aid announced by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani during his visit to Damascus on January 10, 4.5 million euros have been allocated for urgent relief initiatives.

The ministry clarified that this aid will be directed to the most urgent and priority areas in Syria, with the aim of supporting humanitarian activities in the health sector and hospitals, improving vital infrastructure including health infrastructure, water and food supply chains, and supporting the most vulnerable groups among the population.
