answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2016 answer text <p>The UK condemns the blockage of medical evacuations from hard to reach and besieged areas inside Syria, which has led to unnecessary death and suffering. In March 2016, for example, three children and a young man in Madaya and al-Wa’er died after having their evacuations rejected by the parties restricting access to these towns. Access to healthcare and medical treatment is a fundamental human right protected under international law.</p><p>Some progress is being made. For example, we are pleased by UN reports that nearly 500 people were evacuated for medical reasons from besieged areas on 20 April.</p><p>However, more needs to be done to provide for all those in need in Syria. The UK is pressing for an end to the removal of medical equipment from convoys by the regime, the evacuation of critical medical cases and regular access to healthcare for besieged populations. We will continue to use our position in the UN Security Council and the International Syria Support Group to draw attention to the atrocities being carried out in Syria and press for urgent action, while maintaining the pressure for a political settlement to bring the suffering of the Syrian people to an end.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 03/05/2016 12:34:28 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne

The FCO are raising issues of humanitarian access across Syria with their Russian counterparts at every opportunity.</p><p>We continue to use our position in the UN Security Council and the International Syria Support Group to call on all sides to the conflict and their backers – including Russia - to respect International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and to ensure free, unimpeded access for humanitarian agencies.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 03/05/2016 12:34:07 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2016 answer text <p>It is unacceptable that medical items are being systematically removed from humanitarian convoys inside Syria, the vast majority by the Assad Regime. According to the UN, 80,000 medical treatments were excluded or removed from their convoys in February 2016 alone. Items removed include essential life-saving medical items such as surgical and anaesthetic supplies and blood bags. These are exactly the items that are vital to treat victims of bombings or shelling, as well as essential to treat accidental trauma and for Caesarean sections or some complicated deliveries. Other items such as diarrhoea kits, emergency health kits, antibiotics, and other medicines have been removed.</p><p> </p><p>The UK continues to use our position in the UN Security Council and the International Syria Support Group to press for an end to the removal of medical equipment from convoys by the Regime, the evacuation of critical medical cases and regular access to healthcare for besieged populations.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 03/05/2016 12:33:00 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2016 answer text <p>Attempting to deliver humanitarian assistance without the consent of the parties to the conflict is extremely challenging. There is a risk that shipments of humanitarian assistance would be physically stopped and confiscated, humanitarian staff placed in danger and that convoys could come under attack. Likewise, delivering assistance without consent may risk undermining ongoing negotiations on humanitarian access to the 4.6 million people in hard to reach areas across Syria.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 03/05/2016 12:32:33 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
