U.S. will ease aid restrictions for Syria, signaling support for the new government, reports the Wall Street Journal

The Biden administration is set to announce on Monday a decision to relax restrictions on humanitarian aid for Syria, facilitating the expedited delivery of essential supplies while maintaining sanctions that limit other forms of assistance to the new government in Damascus, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal on Sunday.

This measure, which received approval from the administration over the weekend, allows the Treasury Department to grant waivers to aid organizations and companies supplying critical resources such as water, electricity, and other humanitarian necessities, as reported by the WSJ, citing officials.
