legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their response to the statement by the UN Relief and Works Agency on 22 February regarding the mortar attack that killed two Palestinian children near the refugee camp of Jaramana, and to reports that 50 mortar shells landed in Damascus in a single day.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2018 answer text <p>We are aware of reports of mortar shelling in and around Damascus, and condemn any attack on civilians. We welcome the unanimous adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2401 on 24 February which calls for a 30-day ceasefire in Syria to allow for delivery of humanitarian aid and medical evacuations, which are urgently needed across Syria, but particularly in Eastern Ghouta. The main opposition armed groups have accepted the ceasefire, but we are appalled by reports that airstrikes have continued to take place in spite of the UN Security Council Resolution. The Asad regime is responsible for the vast majority of civilian deaths in Syria through the disproportionate and indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas, and according to the UN Commission of Inquiry, the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure, including medical facilities and schools. Those with influence over the regime must now ensure the ceasefire is implemented in full.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 14/03/2018 17:09:38 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
