On February 4, a conference in London co-hosted by the
United Nations, the United Kingdom, Kuwait, Germany, and Norway raised over $10
billion in humanitarian aid that will go to those affected by the civil war
that has been raging in Syria. The money raised at the conference will supply
food, medical care, and shelter, and will also go toward longer-term
rebuilding. Despite this success, UN peace talks between the Syrian government
and opposition were suspended
by UN Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura until February 25 because of airstrikes
on opposition forces by the Syrian government with support from Russia.
