Kuwait City--Donor nations meeting in Kuwait have pledged $3.8 billion in humanitarian aid for Syria, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Tuesday.
"The total pledges made are $3.8 billion (3.6 billion euros)... These are very generous pledges," Ban told the closing session of the Third International Pledging Conference for Syria.
