	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2018 answer text <p>Humanitarian access to Eastern Ghouta is severely constrained by the Assad regime. The ability to treat those injured from the attack in Douma has been hampered by years of restricted humanitarian access, routine removal by the regime of medical supplies and equipment from the rare aid convoys that have got in, and attacks on medical facilities. The regime has not allowed any UN humanitarian access to Douma since the reported chemical attack on 7 April.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to use our position in the UN Security Council and the International Syria Support Group to press the Assad regime and its backers to allow access so aid can reach those in desperate need such as children and families, while maintaining the pressure for a political settlement to bring the suffering of the Syrian people to an end.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 23/04/2018 15:46:11 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
