answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/12/2016 answer text <p>We continue to look at all options, compliant with international law, to alleviate the suffering of millions of Syrians. A pre-requisite for successful aid bridges is consent from all parties controlling the air space. The Assad regime and Russia have systematically denied humanitarian access to besieged populations by land and have refused consent for air bridges of supplies to opposition-held besieged areas.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 22/12/2016 12:04:31 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2016 answer text <p>The UK is providing life-saving support to millions of people inside Syria. Through UN and NGO partners, we are delivering the full range of relief; including food, clean water, shelter, and healthcare. Between February 2012 and August 2016, we provided, for example, over 16.4 million monthly food rations, medical support to over 3.7 million people, and relief packages to over 5.5 million people (including essential winter and household items, such as blankets). This is funded through the £2.3 billion pledged by the UK in response to the Syria crisis, our largest ever response to a single humanitarian crisis.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 21/12/2016 12:02:14 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm
