Professor Paul McMaster:

Perhaps Ms McKenna is glaring at me. The teams on the ground are very angry. We are not able to do enough. We are very worried about the people we cannot reach. We encourage all parties to create a safer environment in those critical areas. It is not for us to judge how that is achieved, although some of us have quite strong views, as the members can imagine. We have reports of colleagues who have gone into areas and found 50,000 people. I can just close my eyes and imagine what it will be like for those people this winter, even aside from the conflict around them. We are very anxious to get access to those areas and very anxious to work in all areas in Syria where people are in distress. That is our only remit.
