We are leading the way by placing its key principles – such as greater transparency and more effective prioritisation of aid – at the heart of our own response, and encouraging others to do the same. At the 2016 London Syria conference, we pushed for a shift to more multi-year financing to enable better long-term planning, and helped secure pledges of $6.1 billion. At this year’s Brussels Syria conference, we joined our co-chairs and other participants in committing to further action to include Grand Bargain commitments in the Syria response to ensure that it is effective and efficient.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 20/11/2017 18:06:12 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2017 answer text <p>DFID’s humanitarian partners are on the ground in Eastern Ghouta providing life-saving healthcare and food. However, the Assad regime is besieging the area, preventing the delivery of new supplies. This is leading to a deterioration in already dire humanitarian conditions, with reports of growing food shortages and cases of acute malnutrition. We are using our position on the UN Security Council, and in the International Syria Support Group, to press the regime and its backers to allow unfettered access so that aid can reach those in desperate need.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 13/11/2017 17:55:53 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
