<p>The UK is deeply concerned about the rising humanitarian needs of the Syrians trapped
between the Syrian and Jordanian borders. UK government officials have been working
hard to find a solution that allows the resumption of humanitarian aid while meeting
the security concerns of the Government of Jordan. UK officials have been working
closely with international partners, including the United States, the European Union
and other international donors. Our international partners’ response and assessment
of the situation on the berm is consistent with the UK government’s stance.</p><p>An
agreement in principle has been reached with the Government of Jordan for the resumption
of aid supplies to the border area within the coming weeks. This remains at the detailed
planning stage but should ultimately provide more substantial aid, primarily food,
water and daily essential items, and restore a basic medical provision for those present
in the border area.</p><p> </p>
