Kuwait, Red Cross pledge $137.5 m for Iraq reconstruction

The State of Kuwait and the Red Cross Organization have pledged $137.5 million for humanitarian aids in Iraq, the Baghdad Post reported Monday.

This came during the Iraq Reconstruction Conference which is currently being held in Kuwait.

More than 70 countries and 1850 private sector companies are participating in the conference.

Observers told the Baghdad Post the cash raised from the conference would boost Iranian terrorism in the region.

US secretary of State Rex Tillerson will attend the conference. But the US Administration is expected to give no further financial aids for reconstructing Iraq.
