TOKYO: Japan plans to donate more than $10 million through international organizations to Iraqi and Syrian refugees displaced by the Islamic State militant group (ISIS), sources close to Japan-US relations said.
The government sees the humanitarian aid as its contribution as a member of a coalition the United States is forming against the militant group, while viewing any Japanese military assistance as difficult at present, the sources said according to Japan's (Kyodo) News Agency.
"We plan to extend humanitarian assistance as our country is not allowed to make military contributions," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a press conference. (QNA)
