Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what humanitarian assistance the Government is providing to civilians in Syria.

The UK is providing life-saving support to millions of people inside Syria. Through UN and NGO partners, we are delivering the full range of relief; including food, clean water, shelter, and healthcare. Between February 2012 and August 2016, we provided, for example, over 16.4 million monthly food rations, medical support to over 3.7 million people, and relief packages to over 5.5 million people (including essential winter and household items, such as blankets). This is funded through the £2.3 billion pledged by the UK in response to the Syria crisis, our largest ever response to a single humanitarian crisis.
