answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2019 answer text <p>The UK remains deeply concerned by the continuing conflict and deteriorating humanitarian situation in Libya. We regularly call on all the parties to de-escalate, permit humanitarian access, support a ceasefire and return to the UN-led political process. We are clear there is no military solution to the conflict.</p><p>The UK has contributed £1 million to the UN Flash Appeal for Libya. This is to provide funding to the World Health Organisation to deliver life-saving medical care and to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs to improve humanitarian access for agencies on the ground. Furthermore, the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) has released $2 million to provide life-saving assistance to civilians caught up in the fighting, including vulnerable migrants and refugees. The UK was the biggest donor to the CERF in 2018, providing £114.3 million.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 29/10/2019 13:00:51 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2019 answer text <p>​The UK has been consistently clear with Turkey on our opposition to its military action in north-east Syria. The Prime Minister spoke to President Erdogan on the 12 and 20 October and called on Turkey to end its military operation. The Foreign Secretary and Defence Secretary also conveyed this message to their Turkish counterparts while I did so with my counterpart, Deputy Foreign Minister Önal, on 26 October. I welcomed the fact that the US-brokered ceasefire appears to be holding and urged this to continue. We have also highlighted our serious concern about reports of violations of international humanitarian law during the military operation and reiterated our expectation that all parties respect their obligations towards the local civilian population under international humanitarian law.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 29/10/2019 13:03:27 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
