Despite desperate attempts from certain circles, media etc. , the usual suspects basically, to “hide and distort” the help offered and given, I firmly expect that GCC will take the financial brunt (help) out of almost everyone as is usually the case when catastrophic events occur in Muslim-majority countries. The problem, in particular in Syria, is that help/money offered, as many times before, will not always reach those actually affected due to corruption, theft etc. Syria in particular has barely functioning infrastructure.
