The US intends to allocate over $ 200 million for humanitarian aid in Syria, said Secretary of State Rex Tillerson at a meeting in Kuwait of the U.S-led global coalition against ISIS.

Tillerson said Washington is concerned over recent events in north-west Syria but fully understands Turkish “legitimate security concerns” , Reuters reported.

According to him, the members of the international coalition should continue their struggle against the ISIS attempts to recruit new supporters and provide financing.

Tillerson opened U.S-led global coalition against Islamic State, which was attended by the representatives of over 70 countries. A coalition action plan for the next year, as well as the settlement of the situation in Syria and Iraq was included in the agenda.
