Taipei, March 30 (CNA) Taiwan will continue its efforts alongside other nations and global organizations to help Syrians rebuild their country, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said Saturday.

As a member of the U.S.-led Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, Taiwan remains committed to assisting the Syrian people so they can return soon to a stable and peaceful life, the ministry said in a statement, but did not elaborate on Taiwan’s efforts going forward.

Since 2014, Taiwan has been a member of the coalition and has been providing humanitarian assistance in war-torn Syria, the ministry said.

Through official channels and non-governmental organizations, Taiwan has donated 350 prefabricated houses, a mobile hospital, winter clothing and rice to people in Syria and to Syrian refugees in Jordan, Iraq and Turkey, who have been displaced as a result of the armed conflict that involved ISIS, the ministry said.    [FULL  STORY]
