	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2016 answer text <p>​We are very concerned by the alleged destruction of villages as well as the other allegations of human rights and International Humanitarian Law violations in Jebel Marra. We are deeply troubled about the humanitarian situation in Darfur, which was made more acute by a renewed outbreak of hostilities in January and which has displaced at least 80,000 civilians; adding to the 2.6 million people long term displaced in Darfur. We continue to believe that urgent humanitarian access and a lasting cessation of hostilities leading to a permanent ceasefire are crucial to ending the conflict in Darfur and have made this point directly to the Government of Sudan, most recently during high–level discussions on 10-11 October.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 25/10/2016 11:48:54 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
