	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of humanitarian airdrops in Eastern Ghouta in the event that the Assad regime continues to block UN land access for aid provision.
	tabling member constituency	Manchester, Gorton

	uin	111608
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2017 answer text <p>Aid delivered by road by trusted humanitarian partners is by far the most effective way to meet needs in Eastern Ghouta and to ensure that it reaches those most in need. Airdrops are high risk and not capable of delivering many of the types of aid on a scale that could meet key needs there (e.g. safe drinking water, shelter, health support). Crucially, the consent is needed of those who control the airspace and those on the ground that could threaten aircraft. There is nothing to suggest that the Assad regime would provide such consent if it remained intent on blocking land access.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 13/11/2017 17:56:16 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

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2017 answer text <p>DFID supports DNDi because its operational model puts the needs of patients at the heart of what it does and builds in equitable and affordable access to the end product from the outset. DNDi includes these approaches in its contractual relationships with industrial partners and by delinking the cost of the final product from the costs of research and development.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 13/11/2017 17:55:26 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2017 answer text <p>DFID officials have made a number of visits to Rakhine in the past two months and have regularly updated Ministers. Aid workers have been getting UK-funded humanitarian assistance to some people in parts of Rakhine State, however access remains extremely restricted in northern Rakhine. The UK has provided £1 million to the Red Cross in Burma, which is currently the only aid organisation permitted to provide humanitarian support in Northern Rakhine. We continue to press the Burmese government to end violence, allow full humanitarian access, and to implement the recommendations of Kofi Annan’s Rakhine Advisory Commission to address the underlying causes of violence and under-development.</p><p>DFID constantly monitors how we support the UK’s Burma strategy objectives of supporting peace, democracy and an open economy. We have been successful in reaching and improving the lives of many poor and marginalised people in Burma, many of whom have suffered decades of conflict.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 13/11/2017 17:54:30 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
