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
