US Pledges $135 Million In Additional Aid To Syrian Refugees After UN Warnings

(Reuters) -- The U.S. pledged $135 million in additional aid for the victims of the Syrian Civil War Saturday, much of it to help the United Nations with a funding shortfall it had warned could force it to scale back food distribution. Neighboring nations have borne the brunt of the humanitarian crisis sparked by the civil war, which has killed almost 200,000 people and forced more than 3 million to flee.
