Germany will allocate €60 million to various aid projects for Syria, as announced by the Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, Svenja Schulze, in an interview with Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland.
The funds will not go to Syrian authorities but will be administered by non-governmental and international organizations, according to DW.
Schulze characterized the humanitarian situation in Syria as "catastrophic," with 90% of the population living in poverty and reliant on humanitarian aid. The conflict that has devastated the country since 2011 has left much of its infrastructure destroyed.

The German minister emphasized that Berlin will offer support to Damascus only if certain conditions are met, including the establishment of an education system free from ideology, discrimination, and isolation. “If progress moves in the right direction, we are ready to provide further assistance in other areas,” Schulze stated.
Furthermore, the German government calls on the new Syrian authorities to investigate the crimes of the Assad regime, ensure an independent dialogue free from external influences, and submit chemical weapons to international oversight.
