UK to provide extra £21 million in Syria aid January 26, 2013 - 12:45 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - International Development Secretary Justine Greening has pledged the UK will provide an extra £21 million in aid for those affected by the conflict in Syria, Belfast Telegraph said. Ms Greening was visiting the Za'atri refugee camp in neighbouring Jordan, where the flow of people fleeing the war zone has been described by the United Nations (UN) as "absolutely dramatic". It means the UK has now provided a total of £89.5 million in aid for those caught up in the Syrian civil war between forces loyal to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and those who oppose him. Half of the new tranch of aid (£10 million) will be used to help Jordan deal with the influx of refugees. According to the UN, about 6,400 Syrians have arrived at the main refugee camp in Jordan in the last 24 hours alone. The remaining funds will be used to restock medical facilities and treat tens of thousands of injured and sick people inside Syria. It will also be used to buy vital supplies of bread and flour and winter clothing.
