sharing principle as they have been bearing a huge portion of this burden. The meeting commended the State of Kuwait for hosting the first, second and third international humanitarian pledging conferences for Syria. The meeting also recognized that the humanitarian needs in Syria are still tremendous and much more should be done, especially in terms of cross-border and cross-line humanitarian assistance. The meeting called for the need to provide financial resources to the Emergency Fund that was approved by the CFM in Kuwait. The meeting appealed to the Member States to channel some of their humanitarian aid through the OIC to strengthen joint Islamic action. The meeting requested Member States to provide the OIC General Secretariat with details of their humanitarian assistance to the Syrian refugees, as well as to the Palestinian refugees that were in Syria as a large number of around half a million Palestinian refugees who were there had to leave Syria, and their assistance plans for the foreseeable future. The meeting recommended convening, as a matter of urgency, a ministerial meeting to discuss and adopt a plan of action or a strategy on refugee issues in OIC Member States. The meeting decided to remain seized with the issue of the Syrian refugee crisis; and requested the Secretary General of the OIC to develop a report on the matter to be circulated to the Member States.
