answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2017 answer text <p>The protection of civilians is a priority for the UK, and we will continue to work closely with the US and other partners to that end. We have provided significant support to humanitarian planning for Raqqah operations. This has included involvement in the Coalition's civil-military planning process and detailed engagement with the UN and agencies.</p><p>Arranging the safe passage of civilians to areas of safety hinges entirely on the goodwill of parties to the conflict. UK aid does not currently go to Daesh-held areas because Daesh are blocking humanitarian access. In areas of the Raqqah Governorate liberated from Daesh, DFID-funded partners are supporting the displaced with food, shelter, healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene assistance.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 10/07/2017 16:44:21 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
