The Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah on Wednesday opened the International Donors Conference For Syria with the participation of 59 countries. Additionally, 13 organizations and humanitarian and relief agencies of the United Nations are taking part in the conference. United Nations announced in December that its specialized agencies need US $1.5 billion to provide adequate funding until next June to help with the implementation of its humanitarian program for Syria. The Emir of Kuwait Wednesday announced US$300 million pledge for the Syrian people. In an inaugural address at the conference, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, said the UN Security Council (UNSC) members should overcome their differences and end the daily suffering of the Syrian people in and outside their country, Kuwait KUNA news agency reported. "The UN and particularly the Security council, which is the body commissioned with the conservation of international peace and security, are required, after almost two years have passed since the beginning of the crisis, to hurry up to unite their ranks and overcome some of the disappointing positions, to find a quick solution for this tragedy," said Sheikh Sabah. Sheikh Sabah said the State of Kuwait has not spared any effort since the eruption of the Syrian conflict to provide humanitarian aid to the Syrian people.
