A delegation of visiting U.S. senators has warned Iraq over allowing Iran to send weapons to the Syrian government through Iraqi airspace. Iraq has called on the United States to cite evidence of the Iranian flights, saying none has been provided so far. Speaking on Wednesday in Jordan, USAID administrator Rajiv Shah announced a new donation of aid to assist Syrian refugees.
Rajiv Shah: “We’ve already provided more than $82 million of support for humanitarian priorities inside of Syria, reaching more than 700,000 Syrians with food, water and medical support. And that’s why today I’m quite pleased to announce an additional $21 million commitment, in this case to our colleagues at the World Food Program.”
