<p>The UK is extremely concerned about the dire humanitarian situation of the 40,000
– 50,000 displaced Syrians currently stranded at Rukban camp. Whilst we were encouraged
by the recent aid convoy that took place in November 2018, it is crucial that this
is not viewed as a one-off event. A recent UN assessment highlighted in particular
the major health and protection concerns caused by the lack of sustained access provided
to humanitarian actors.</p><p> </p><p>The UK urges the Assad regime and its backers,
in the strongest possible terms, to facilitate full humanitarian access to enable
a second convoy with winter supplies to take place followed by regular and unrestricted
aid deliveries thereafter.</p>
