<p>Securing aid cross-border aid access into Syria is a top priority for the UK. The
UK regularly raises the issue of UN-mandated cross-border access, and we are using
our position at the UN Security Council, and in bilateral discussions, to push for
greater aid access into Syria and to urge renewal of Resolution 2533. Russia, backed
by China, has reduced cross-border aid access into Syria, placing political support
for the Assad regime above lifesaving support for the Syrian people.</p><p>The UK
is clear that assistance via Damascus alone will not sufficiently meet the needs across
the whole of Syria and so remains committed to the delivery of aid to those most in
need in Syria, through all mechanisms. After a decade of conflict, it is essential
to renew the resolution to avoid further humanitarian disaster.</p>
