One of Syria's external opposition members appealed to the international community for more weapons and air support to defeat both Islamic militants and the Assad regime, as nations unveiled more non-lethal aid.
"We welcome that the world has joined this battle ... we welcome the partnership of the world in our battle against terrorism," Hadi al-Bahra, head of the Syrian National Coalition, a Western and Gulf-backed external opposition group, told a special ministerial meeting.
But he pleaded "for expedited assistance to put an end to the progress and aggression of" Islamic State group militants, which have seized a large area of Syria and sent some 200,000 Kurds fleeing from their villages in recent days.
"We call on the international community, we call on our brothers and sisters to assist the operations of the free army, by supporting air support," Bahra told a meeting of the Friends of Syria.
