As required by UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2139, the Secretary General
has produced monthly reports to the Security Council on the humanitarian situation
in Syria. UNSCR 2165 and its successor, UNSCR 2191, also continue to be implemented.
According to the UN Secretary General’s most recent report, by 31 July 2015, the UN
and its partners had delivered 154 shipments of aid into Syria. The UK has allocated
£233 million for the provision of humanitarian assistance inside Syria, to be delivered
through our UN and non-governmental organisation partners. However, the delivery of
aid in Syria is complicated by the continued obstruction of aid delivery by the Assad
regime, as well as by the regime’s indiscriminate attacks on population centres, especially
through the use of barrel bombs. Countries with influence over the Syrian government,
including Russia, must use that influence to press the Assad regime to comply with
its responsibilities under international humanitarian and human rights law.
