Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their response to the report on the latest developments in Afrin District, published on 15 June by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

We continue to closely follow the situation in Afrin, and wider north-western Syria. UK-funded partners including UN OCHA and other UN agencies have been working to deliver assistance to those displaced from Afrin, and those in need in Afrin, where access allows. This includes food, water, sanitation support, resupplying damaged health facilities, and education on the risks of mines. We regularly discuss issues of concern with the Turkish government, including the protection of civilians and the need to facilitate access for life-saving humanitarian aid in accordance with international humanitarian law.
