Consistent with the policy objectives described in section 4, it is the sense of Congress that— the United States should increase its own contributions and continue to coordinate with other donor nations, the United Nations, other multilateral agencies, and nongovernmental organizations to enhance the effectiveness of humanitarian assistance to the people suffering as a result of the crisis in Syria; countries hosting Syrian refugees should be commended for their efforts and should be encouraged to maintain an open border policy for fleeing Syrians; the United States Government should continue to work with these partners to help their national systems accommodate the population influx and also maintain delivery of basic services to their own citizens; and the United States Government should seek to identify humanitarian assistance as originating from the American people wherever possible, while maintaining primary consideration for the health and safety of the implementers and recipients of that assistance and for the furtherance of United States foreign policy goals.
