Kerry pledges $60 million aid to Syrian opposition
U S Secretary of State John Kerry announced an additional 60 million dollars in aid to Syrian opposition forces, including food and medical supplies for rebels for the first time, while stopping short of arming them. He asserted Assad has lost legitimacy and must fall, as the United States scales up support beyond humanitarian relief. Opposition leaders called the move insufficient and demanded weapons and gear. The United States has already provided 54 million to political opposition and over 350 million in humanitarian aid to refugees.
