</p><p>BACKGROUND
</p><p>The Supporting Syria and the Region conference took place in London on 4 February 2016.
</p><p>It brought together world leaders in a bid to raise the money needed to help the millions of people whose lives have been torn apart by the devastating civil war in Syria.
</p><p>Syria is the world's biggest humanitarian crisis. Billions of dollars in international aid are needed to support people caught up in the conflict.
</p><p>England, Germany, Arabia, Norway, and the United Nations co-hosted the conference to raise significant new funding to meet the immediate and longer-term needs of those affected.
</p><p>The conference also set ambitious goals on education and economic opportunities to transform the lives of refugees caught up in the Syrian crisis - and to support the countries hosting them.
</p><p>This event alone cannot solve all these problems. Ultimately a political solution is necessary to bring the Syrian conflict to an end.
