question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what proportion of UK humanitarian aid to Syria has been delivered to areas controlled by the Assad regime or its allies.
tabling member printed	Lord Truscott
uin	HL9114
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2018 answer text <p>DFID’s focus in Syria is on helping those most acutely in need, and we have extensive controls in place to ensure that UK aid does not benefit the Assad regime. In 2017/2018, our partners operating from Damascus delivered 31% of DFID’s spending in Syria. The majority of that aid was delivered to those most in need living in areas controlled by the Assad regime. A small proportion was also delivered from Damascus to hard-to-reach and besieged areas held by the opposition.</p><p> </p><p>The remainder was delivered by agencies working cross-border from Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq into areas not controlled by the Assad regime, and on monitoring and evaluation activities.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 11/07/2018 13:53:53 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

uin	HL8917
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2018 answer text <p>DFID prioritises reaching the most vulnerable people across Syria, wherever they may be. UK funding is distributed on the basis of need rather than geography, and we are advocating to improve the effectiveness and funding of the international response to the Syria Crisis. DFID does not require its humanitarian partners to breakdown funding or results provided to them by area of control, as this is not the basis on which aid is delivered.</p><p> </p><p>DFID is providing support to vulnerable Syrians, including displaced people, across the North West of Syria. This includes food packages, access to sustainable water, health consultations, education, and livelihoods and agriculture support. We continue to monitor ongoing displacement across the whole of Syria to ensure our programmes are supporting those most in need.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 04/07/2018 16:46:27 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to use all possible means, including cooperation with Russia, to achieve full humanitarian access to Eastern Ghouta, Syria.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL4556
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2018 answer text <p>Humanitarian access to Eastern Ghouta is severely constrained by the Assad regime. Where access allows, our partners including the UN and NGOs are providing life-saving food, protection, and healthcare. The recent medical evacuation of 29 people in urgent need of treatment, whilst positive, does little to meet overall humanitarian need in Eastern Ghouta. The UK continues to demand full and sustained humanitarian access in order to deliver aid to those in need, and for further medical evacuations to take place. We are doing all we can diplomatically to achieve this, including calling on Russia to use its influence with the Assad regime.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 16/01/2018 13:27:55 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
