After the recent dramatic developments in Syria, Sida is increasing Swedish aid to the country by an additional 20 million kronor.
"The situation in Syria is developing incredibly quickly, which has led to many people having new needs for humanitarian support, in what was already one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises", says Jakob Wernerman, head of Sida's humanitarian aid, in a press release.
So far in 2024, the aid agency Sida has contributed 218 million kronor in humanitarian support to Syria.
