Kerry and The EU Promise Aid For Syrian Rebels

Secretary of State Kerry has announced that the US will give three hundred and eight five million dollars in aid, to the Syrian rebels.

The US will not provide military aid or weapons.

They will provide food, medical supplies, and money that is to be used for sanitation and rebuilding.

Meanwhile, the EU announced an increase in aid to the rebels.

Europe will begin sending non lethal military supplies, including armored vehicles and technical supplies.

Israel has also been aiding the rebels, most notably by treating their wounded soldiers, in Israeli hospitals.

However, spokesmen for the Syrian National Council, the official governing body of the rebels, complained that the aid wasn't enough.

While they do not want direct western intervention, they do demand that they be given weapons, so that they can bring the war to a quicker conclusion.
