    This basically does nothing, like it might make it easier for some aid groups to get emergency supplies but most companies and organizations will still not interact with Syria. If they unilaterally took down all sanctions on Syria for 180 days, that might do something, but they are strictly limiting it to earthquake related stuff.

    This is like the "humanitarian exemption" the US supposedly has in all of their sanctions. Like on paper you can sell food and medicine to Iran but there is so much scrutiny by the US that it makes trade functionally impossible and if you try you end up on the US shitlist and they come down on you in other areas. Or they will just declare that the insulin you were selling was going to terrorists and destroy your access to banking anyways. The exemption is literally just there to make liberals feel better.
