A bill that aims to provide humanitarian relief to victims of the Islamic State's genocide in Iraq and Syria has been passed by the U.S. Senate and House, and is heading to President Trump's desk, the Christian Post website reports today (November 29, 2018).
The bill is designed to "provide emergency relief to victims of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes in Iraq and Syria" and "provide accountability for perpetrators of these crimes."
The bill would authorize and direct the U.S. government to fund entities, including faith-based organizations that were targeted by the Islamic State (IS).
It was passed over four years after IS took large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria.
