answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2016 answer text <p>We continually make clear to both the government of South Sudan and the Opposition that disrupting the efforts of humanitarian agencies to provide food for civilians in desperate need of assistance is absolutely unacceptable. In particular, the government must fulfil its commitment to improve access for humanitarian personnel to those who need our support.

We also raise humanitarian issues alongside other donors with representatives of the Government in the context of discussions about the peace process, organised by the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Committee in Juba, most recently on 22 November.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 28/11/2016 15:52:19 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
