US aid to Syria averaged ~$700M annually pre-2024 (e.g., $763M in FY2023, $511M in FY2024), focused on humanitarian relief for 16M+ in need amid war, not direct to govt due to sanctions. Why: To provide food, health, shelter via NGOs/UN, counter ISIS, stabilize region. In return: Enhanced US security by reducing extremism, migration crises, and supporting allies—strategic gains, not quid pro quo.
