Delivered large pool of money for war-torn region (7)

I believe the answer is:

kashmir

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'region' is the definition.
(Kashmir is an example)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for kashmir that I've seen before include "Himalayan region" , "Himalayan territory" , "disputed area" , "Region on the border of India and Pakistan" , "Subcontinental border region" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
