The UK is providing a wide-range of humanitarian support to civilians inside Syria including food, clean water, medical support and relief packages. In Iraq, the UK is working with other Coalition members to help meet the needs of the Iraqi (including Kurdish) security forces. There are no plans to provide cold weather clothing and equipment to armed forces fighting Daesh in Syria or Iraq.
