DUBAI (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia pledged on Wednesday to provide $300 million to help fund humanitarian efforts for Syrians affected by nearly two years of conflict, al-Jazeera Mubasher television reported.

The channel said the announcement was made by the kingdom's Finance Minister Ibrahim Alassaf at an aid donor conference chaired by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in Kuwait.
