<p>We are gravely concerned by the escalation in military action by Russia and the
Syrian regime in Idlib. We are appalled that civilian infrastructure has been hit,
including 24 health facilities, and by reports of civilian casualties and mass displacement.
We are using public statements, diplomatic relationships and international fora, including
the UN Security Council, to increase the pressure on all parties to end the violence,
return to the ceasefire agreed in September 2018 and abide by their obligations under
international humanitarian law. Through the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund,
the UK is supporting innovative new technology that provides civilians in Idlib with
early warnings of airstrikes in order to save lives. We also continue to support international
efforts to document violations of international humanitarian law being committed in
Idlib.</p>
