Well, good thing you know where it's going. So tell me, how much has it donated to civilians? How many refugees has it hosted?
Jaish al Islam and Nusra are having tensions, but I have not read reports by anyone being killed on either side. I'd like to see the "source" for such numbers.
You must be kidding, right? So now this is only about hosting refugees? We have given Syrian gov nearly $10 billions in credit and cash, and unlike the propaganda sources you usually like to believe, almost nothing of that help goes to military spending, and most of that money is spent by gov to pay the state employees, invest in agriculture, buy food and to generally prop up state revenues which has declined significantly because of war, and hence civilians are in a bad situation economically, because of soaring prices. And I didn't even mention hundreds of tonnes of food, medicine and other vital stuff which are being sent to Damascus airport on a daily or weekly basis. Also, I have read various reports that Iran, Venezuela, Algeria and few other countries send shipments of gasoline and petrochemical products regularly.
As much as you hate Assad and gov, but still, this gov should feed people and pay their wages, and the money doesn't appear miraculously.
Do you know what's very sad about this war? (regardless of which sides we support) The fact that Syria's food production was more than twice the domestic consumption and much of it was exported to other countries. Actually, Syria was a model in ME in terms of agricultural technologies and industries. Now the country can barely afford its own population.
