The Syrian Foreign Ministry slammed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s move to donate $100 million to the Syrian areas controlled by the US Coalition.

The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) quoted an official source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry as saying that the Saudi authorities have pledged $100 million to the international coalition led by the Washington in defiance of the UN Security Council resolutions related to the crisis in Syria.

SANA continued that this flawed Saudi decision comes within the framework of the Saudi authorities’ full compliance with the US administration at the expense of Saudi people who is suffering from poverty and dire economic recession.

The source went on to say that the US-led coalition has killed thousands of Syrian children and women and attacked positions of the Syrian Army dozens of times to prevent it from fighting the ISIL terrorist organization.

The SANA report would go on to blame the US Coalition for the destruction of several areas across Syria, while costing the country billions of dollars to reconstruct these territories.
