<p>The UK remains very concerned about the humanitarian situation of the estimated
41,000 people stranded at Rukban camp. DFID engages regularly with the UN to understand
the latest assessments of the humanitarian needs of those in the camp – these needs
remain high, particularly given the lack of sustained access provided to humanitarian
actors. Together with our international partners, we continue to call on the Syrian
Regime and its backers to facilitate sustained humanitarian access to the camp.</p><p>DFID
is continuing to support essential humanitarian assistance to Rukban camp, including
contributing to the provision of clean water and medical support for the UN clinic.
In 2018 alone, DFID funding to those at Rukban provided 8,000 children with malnutrition
screening, 5,000 children with vaccines, 2,500 children with medical consultations
and contributed to the provision of safe water and hygiene kits for 50,000 people.</p>
