The UN-brokered agreement to open additional border crossings into north west Syria for an initial period of three months is welcome and we continue to work with the UN to ensure access is secured in the longer term to improve humanitarian conditions. As of 14 March, over 787 aid trucks provided by six UN agencies have crossed to north west Syria from Turkey.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 28/03/2023 15:44:37 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL6453
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2023 answer text <p>The UK is closely monitoring developments in northern Syria, where security and stability are necessary to prevent the worsening of the already serious humanitarian situation, especially in the wake of the 6 February earthquakes. The UK continues to use our position at the UN Security Council to call on all parties to respect agreed ceasefires, de-escalate tensions and restrain from activity that could lead to further destabilisation or civilian loss of life. There can be no military solution to the Syrian conflict, only a political settlement on the basis of UNSCR 2254.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 28/03/2023 15:49:12 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
