Churches in Middle East urge US President Biden to lift sanctions on Syria
Church leaders in the Middle East renew their appeal to the United States to lift economic sanctions imposed on Syria, anticipating an unprecedented humanitarian disaster in the war-torn nation, which is grappling with a worsening economic crisis amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
