The United Nation's food agency has said it is resuming food assistance to Syrian refugees after having suspended aid to 1.7 million displaced people last week due to a lack of funds.
The World Food Program said in a statement on Tuesday that it had raised more than $80 million after launching a 72-hour campaign to raise funds for food aid via social media.
"By mid-December, Syrian refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt will have their electronic food vouchers uploaded with an average amount of $30 per family member (to buy food)," it stated.
About 14,000 individuals and private sector donors in 158 countries contributed to the campaign.
