UK prime minister David Cameron has said that the UK will be doubling its aid to the UN appeal in 2016.
“We will also help to provide greater certainty for the long-time; I can announce that Britain will commit at least 280 Million pounds a year from 2017 to 2019…[…]…Britain will play its part and I know countries here today will play their part,” Added D.Cameron during the conference.
The demonstrations were completely peaceful, with occasional chants against the ‘Turkish state’; “Down with the Turkish state”.

A smaller protest of up to 10-15 people, with Syrian flags and banners, calling for “peace in Syria”, was held a couple hundred meters away from the main protest.
