\u200bThe continued use of detentions and restrictions on communications in India-administered Kashmir is of concern. It is important that individual rights are fully respected and that there is constructive dialogue with affected communities.<\/p>
We are monitoring the situation in Kashmir closely and are in regular contact with the Indian Government. The Prime Minister has spoken to Prime Minister Modi about the situation in Kashmir,<\/strong> and the Foreign Secretary has spoken to Indian Minister of External Affairs Jaishankar to express concerns around the situation. The Minister for South Asia has also had regular engagement with the Indian High Commissioner. He raised the situation in Kashmir with the Indian Minister for Minority Affairs earlier this month.<\/p> We urge the Governments of India and Pakistan to ensure that the humanitarian needs of the people of India-administered Kashmir and Pakistan-administered Kashmir are being met, and encourage India and Pakistan to engage in dialogue to find lasting, diplomatic solutions to maintain regional stability.<\/p>"}

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.

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>"}
