FOREIGN Minister Bob Carr has pledged to boost Australia’s medical and food aid to Syria amid a huge exodus of refugees from the war-torn country.
News Ltd reports Senator Carr on Sunday night took an emergency aid plan to a meeting of European foreign leaders and the Arab League.
The plan promises a $24 million boost in aid for the around two million people displaced due to the conflict in Syria, News Ltd reports.
“The Syrian war is one of the world’s great humanitarian disasters,” Senator Carr said. “It has been described as risking the greatest refugee crisis since World War II.”
Senator Carr also offered to help rebuild a future democratic government in Syria, as long as its chemical weapons were secured and groups linked to terrorism played no part in ruling the country.
