A donation campaign organized to support reconstruction efforts in Syria's Aleppo province has raised $150 million on Thursday, according to officials.
The campaign, set to run for three days, was launched under the auspices of the Aleppo Governorate, and aims to contribute to the rebuilding, development and restoration of the city's infrastructure.
Aleppo was one of the cities that had been most heavily affected by the country's prolonged civil war, suffering extensive damage to its infrastructure, housing and public services.
The city remains in urgent need of comprehensive reconstruction and development.
Similar campaigns have previously been held in other provinces.
Even though the Syrian government poses no threat, Israeli forces have repeatedly entered Syrian territory and launched airstrikes, killing civilians and destroying Syrian military sites, vehicles, weapons and ammunition.
Syrian government data shows that since December 2024, Israel has carried out over 1,000 airstrikes in Syria and more than 400 cross-border raids into southern provinces.
After the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in late 2024, Israel expanded its occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights by seizing the demilitarized buffer zone, a move that violated a 1974 agreement with Syria.
