Senator CORKER and I are submitting a resolution today that urges all nations to contribute in order to address the humanitarian crisis in Syria. On February 4. in London. the British. German. Kuwaiti. and Norwegian governments will join with the United Nations to host the "Supporting Syria and the Region" conference. The numbers are well known. but bear repeating. The international community has a responsibility to help the 13.5 million vulnerable and displaced people inside Syria. and the 4.2 million Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries. We must step up our efforts. Current pledges to the 2015 UN appeal have not even reached last years levels-$3.3 billion against an appeal of $8.4 billion.
