Syrian Interim Government Budgets 85 million SYP in Support for Deir Ezzor

The Syrian interim government has budgeted 85 million SYP in support for the displaced people of the province of Deir Ezzor. The move comes few days after ISIS laid a crippling siege on the city, demanding that rebels pull out of the districts they control. It is estimated that more than 150,000 of the people of the province have been displaced. It is worth noting that the province has come under fierce attacks by ISIS that claimed the lives of around 400 civilians over the past month. The interim government has previously budgeted more than 1.5 million USD in support for the people of the province in their fight against the forces of the Assad regime. (Source: Syrian Coalition)
