The Biden administration's decision to lift some humanitarian aid restrictions in Syria is a tentative approach to supporting the nation post-Assad, while maintaining sanctions.
The Treasury Department's six-month authorization allows humanitarian groups to provide essential services without violating stringent U.S. sanctions, indicating a shift in America's strategy in Syria.
Despite previous punitive sanctions against the Assad regime, analysts debated their effectiveness, suggesting they may have inflicted excessive harm on the civilian population in Syria.
Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo highlighted that the end of Assad's rule creates a unique opportunity for rebuilding Syria with an emphasis on humanitarian assistance.
