Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what recent assessment her Department has made of the humanitarian assistance required in Aleppo.

The UN estimates that 10,000 to 15,000 people are awaiting evacuation from besieged East Aleppo, where food and medical supplies are exhausted; shelter is scarce, and access to water is severely restricted. Our priority for these people is safe evacuation in full compliance with international humanitarian law, so that our humanitarian partners along the evacuation route may deliver the life-saving aid these people urgently need.
