According to the campaign, the fundraising reached an estimated 210$ million within hours.
Business leaders, expatriates, and economic groups participated alongside individual and community initiatives from several provinces. Contributions ranged from major financial donations to direct commitments to fund infrastructure and production projects.
Syria is seeking to revive its economy by drawing local and foreign investment into reconstruction, with damage from years of conflict estimated at more than $200 billion. Industrial activity is gradually recovering, and Damascus has launched new funding initiatives.
