Biden administration eases aid restrictions to Syria, focusing on humanitarian needs while sanctioning the government.

The Biden administration is set to ease restrictions on humanitarian aid to Syria, allowing faster delivery of essential services like electricity and water, while maintaining strict sanctions on the Syrian government. This move aims to improve living conditions for Syrians without directly assisting the new Islamist rulers, including former Al Qaeda affiliates. The Treasury Department will issue waivers to aid groups and companies providing basic supplies, aiming to balance humanitarian support with continued pressure on the Syrian regime.
