Aid and diplomacy amid Middle East crisis and embargo
As Iraqs invasion deepens, the United States and Syria seek coordination against Iraq with President Hafez Assad while Arab states discuss troops for Saudi Arabia. Japan pledges $2 million in aid to Egypt, Jordan and Turkey, and a $1 billion package for the multinational force is reported. Refugees flood Jordan and Kuwait with tens of thousands still stranded, and Saddam offers oil transport to developing countries in a bid to evade sanctions, a move quickly rejected by Washington and Manila.
