SEOUL- South Korea plans to provide emergency humanitarian aid of dlrs 1 million to Syria for victims and others suffering from last week’s catastrophic earthquake that also affected Turkey, the Korean news agency Yonahp reported Thursday, quoting Seoul’s foreign ministry.
Lim Soo-suk, the ministry’s spokesperson, said the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has requested humanitarian assistance for Syria from the international community in connection with the massive earthquake.
“We hope that the support from our government will help victims, suffering from hardships, recover from the damage,” Lim said during a regular press briefing.
The aid will be delivered through the United Nations due to the lack of diplomatic ties between South Korea and Syria, according to the ministry.
