Syria in urgent need of food

The World Food Programme (WFP) urgently needs €180m to feed close to 10 million people in Syria.

In Ireland during the Covid-19 lockdown time we spent an extra €628.7m on groceries.

Michael, about a month ago I came across the following post which explains your comment about Syria above:

Syria and Lebanon expect economic collapse by the USA! On June 17th, the first phase of the "Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act (https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/31/text)" comes into force: The effects of the new US sanctions package against Syria have already arrived, not only in Syria itself, but also in Lebanon. In both states, an economic collapse is feared.
Therefore, endless convoys of tankers are already on their way to the Syrian city of Al-Qamishlo, presumably to collect crude oil. https://t.me/uncut_news/11342

The Law for the Protection of the Civilian Population of Caesar Syria of 2019 (HR 31), known as the Caesar Law, will come into force on 17 June. According to the document, the sanctions will apply not only to the Syrian government and army, but also to any country that supports Damascus.
