<p>The British Government continues to provide strong support to the moderate opposition,
including technical assistance and non-lethal equipment. The UK has recently increased
the amount allocated this financial year to support areas under opposition control
and increase the resilience of our regional allies to the effects of the Syria conflict
from £30 million to £46 million. Our support along with that of our allies has enabled
the Free Syrian police establish 90 police stations in liberated areas. It has supported
600 volunteers in 51 civil defence stations across northern Syria, trained and equipped
to carry out search & rescue, fire-fighting and first aid, saving over 2,500 lives.
This support has helped to consolidate the moderate opposition as they work to build
capacity to deliver governance and essential public services.</p>
