In the meantime, the UK is providing food, healthcare, water and other life-saving relief to internally displaced people across the country. Since 2012, we have delivered 20.9 million food rations that feed a person for a month, 3.3 million vaccines against deadly diseases, and 8.1 million medical consultations for those in need in Syria.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 08/01/2018 17:44:31 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
