Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government which (1) organisations, (2) opposition groups, and (3) local councils, active in the jihadi-controlled parts of Syria, currently provide (a) humanitarian, and (b) military assistance.
We understand there are over 100 local and international non-governmental organisations providing humanitarian assistance in Syria, some of whom operate in areas of north-west Syria controlled by Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS), a proscribed terrorist organisation. We are not aware of any organisations, opposition groups or local councils providing military assistance in HTS-controlled areas or providing humanitarian or military assistance in the remaining area controlled by Daesh.
