World leaders will assemble to get a donor conference in London on Thursday in an endeavor to raise GBP6.2bn ($9bn; EUR8.3bn) for those impacted by the war in Syria.

Some 70 leaders are expected to attend the seminar, the fourth of its type, including UK PM David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.they’re planning to raise resources for schooling and occupations for Syrian refugees.

Hours prior to the convention was expected to start, peace discussions between opposition and the Syrian regime broke down.

The United Nations-brokered talks, which started only two days past, are likely to restart on 25 February.

Staffan de Mistura, the UN’s special envoy in the talks, declared there had been a dearth of improvement but said the discussions hadn’t failed.

The GBP6.2bn being sought on Thursday is made up of a UN coordinated appeal by tons of aid agencies for around GBP5.3bn and about GBP900m requested by regional host authorities. David Cameron will pledge an added GBP1.2bn from the UK.
