€90 million would be made available through the UN’s Funding Facility for Stabilization for Iraq BERLIN: Germany says it will provide €100 million ($115 million) in development aid to Iraq and Syria to help rebuild areas once occupied by the Daesh. The Foreign and Development Ministries said Wednesday €90 million would be made available through the UN’s Funding Facility for Stabilization for Iraq to restore electrical grids, water and sewer projects, street and bridge repairs and other infrastructure efforts. Another €10 million is being allocated to restore basic services to the Syrian provinces of Raqqa and Deir Ezzor, which are not under the Assad regime’s control. Since 2015, Germany has taken in more than 1 million refugees, many from Iraq and Syria, and the ministries say part of their goal is to help stabilize the areas so that people can return.
