star this property answer text <p>​The UK has been consistently clear with Turkey on our opposition to its military action in north-east Syria. The Prime Minister spoke to President Erdogan on the 12 and 20 October and called on Turkey to end its military operation. The Foreign Secretary and Defence Secretary also conveyed this message to their Turkish counterparts while I did so with my counterpart, Deputy Foreign Minister Önal, on 26 October. I welcomed the fact that the US-brokered ceasefire appears to be holding and urged this to continue. We have also highlighted our serious concern about reports of violations of international humanitarian law during the military operation and reiterated our expectation that all parties respect their obligations towards the local civilian population under international humanitarian law.</p> more like this

We are actively engaged in international diplomatic efforts to secure an end to the fighting and a return to the political process, including by leading discussions on Libya in the UN Security Council. The UK welcomes the German initiative to convene an international conference in Berlin in support of the UN-led political process.</p> more like this

This is to provide funding to the World Health Organisation to deliver life-saving medical care and to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs to improve humanitarian access for agencies on the ground. Furthermore, the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) has released $2 million to provide life-saving assistance to civilians caught up in the fighting, including vulnerable migrants and refugees. The UK was the biggest donor to the CERF in 2018, providing £114.3 million.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Malnutrition puts children and mothers at greater risk of getting sick and dying. It also stops children learning properly and results in them earning significantly less as adults. This has devastating effects on health, resilience, and economic potential, particularly in fragile and conflict-affected states where malnutriton remains persistently high. We have therefore announced that the UK will step up its efforts to end the preventable deaths of mothers, new-borns, and children.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The UK remains deeply concerned by the ongoing conflict in Libya and the worsening humanitarian situation. The fighting around Tripoli has claimed over 1,000 lives and led to over 120,000 displaced, with concerning reports of airstrikes in civilian areas and increasing attacks on civilian infrastructure. It is vital that all sides engage in a durable ceasefire, ensure humanitarian access, and return to UN-led political talks. The UK is calling on all parties to engage with the UN and humanitarian community, and respect International Humanitarian Law. Aid must be allowed to reach those in need and civilians, including refugees and migrants, must be evacuated to safety.</p><p> </p><p>The UK funds a £3.29 million humanitarian programme to provide multi-sector humanitarian assistance to vulnerable people in Libya, improve access to primary health care, build capacity of health care workers, and bolster humanitarian coordination and capability. Earlier this year £1 million was given to the UN Flash Appeal. Funding to the World Health Organisation will deliver lifesaving medical care, including surgery in frontline referral hospitals, and primary healthcare supplies for 150,000 patients. Funding to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs will provide an expert to negotiate improved humanitarian access for agencies delivering aid on-the-ground.</p>
