<p>We are gravely disappointed that the new resolution loses two of the four crossing-points
into Syria, including Yaroubiya, the only UN-mandated border crossing into the North
East. With UN agencies unable to deliver aid cross-border into North East Syria, and
medical supplies from Yaroubiya reaching 1.4 million people last year, DFID Ministers
and UK Officials are raising this with the UN, and will ask the UN to report regularly
on the humanitarian situation in North East Syria. DFID is also speaking with international
partners to determine how to meet the immediate shortfall in medical supplies. The
UK is committed to supporting UN and NGO partners to have unfettered humanitarian
access to all those in need in Syria, across all modalities, and this cannot be time-restricted.</p>
