Ireland gives extra €5m to war zones
Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan said recent attacks on hospitals and medical facilities were appalling and he condemned the blocking of convoys of medicines, food, and baby food.
Some €2m of the €3m destined for Syria is going to groups working inside the country — €1m is going to the International Committee of the Red Cross, €1m to the United Nation’s Turkey Humanitarian Pooled Fund which delivers aid into northern Syria, and another €1m to Unicef.
