Germany could uplift aid for Syrians if Idlib offensive escalates

Germany would consider boosting humanitarian assistance for Syrian refugees in countries neighboring the Arab state in the case of an all-out government offensive in the northern region of Idlib, Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said on Wednesday.

"Germany is ready to consider increasing its humanitarian commitment (to Syria) should multi-front battles take place," Maas said after talks with his Turkish counterpart in Ankara.
