AFNS Gains EU Parliament Support

In its recent report, the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the EU Parliament has advised exploring the allocation of resources to the Aid Fund for Northern Syria (AFNS), a recommendation directed at the EU Council, Commission, and the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. This suggestion is part of broader recommendations on the situation in Syria.

The endorsement by the EU Parliament, given the EU's annual humanitarian budget of €1.65 billion, stands as a substantial vote of confidence in AFNS. Moreover, the report calls for increased international assistance for Syria and urges the Commission and Member States to support the efforts of local civil society organisations.
