"The budget maintains strong support for food aid and other humanitarian assistance, providing about $6.2 billion to help internally displaced persons, refugees and others affected by natural or man-made humanitarian disasters," the budget document said.
The budget provides more than $11 billion in all for the departments of Defense and State to support US efforts to continue to hunt down terrorists and provide training and equipment to forces fighting the Islamic State on the ground.
Those funds will also be used to "help stabilize communities liberated from ISIL [Daesh] in Syria and Iraq; disrupt ISIL’s financing and recruitment; strengthen our regional partners [and] provide humanitarian assistance," the budget document added.
More than four million people have been displaced since the Syrian civil war began in 2011, creating the biggest mass migration crisis in Europe.
ISIL, also known as Daesh, is a designated terror group that is outlawed in the United States, Russia and many other countries.
