We have used our position in the UN Security Council to call upon the regime to cease any indiscriminate attacks, to protect civilians and to allow rapid and unhindered humanitarian access, including to Yarmouk and the surrounding areas. We have done this most recently in the UN Security Council consultations on the humanitarian situation in Syria on 25 April.
