EARTHQUAKE, SANT’EGIDIO: GOOD THE USA DECISION TO SUSPEND SANCTIONS IN SYRIA

The Community of Sant’Egidio expresses its satisfaction with the decision of the United States to temporarily lift some of the sanctions imposed against Damascus and for the announcement of an initial aid package to support the victims of the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria. As the death toll continues to rise and the living conditions of the survivors worsen, Sant’Egidio hopes for a solidarity response from other countries and the entire international community and relaunches its fundraising campaign to support, through the Christian communities in Syria, the populations of the regions of Aleppo and Idlib, already tried by 12 years of war.
