Great news for #Syria.

Today, @POTUS authorized $6.6 million of @USAID funding for #Syria's civil rescue workers, the White Helmets (@SyriaCivilDef) and the @UN's International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism, which does vital accountability work to halt impunity for mass atrocities in Syria.

At #PMQs today, I asked the Prime Minister to step up and help the @SyriaCivilDef who last week had their U.S. funding frozen by the Trump administration >>>

Local community's response to recent strikes on #Syria. Although welcomed, it was not enough.


This is not a shock at all.

Russia is caught red-handed lying about the circumstances of video it made trying to discredit the fact of the Douma chemical attack. bit.ly/2KbFJE3

I have called for military action in #Syria for years. We need a comprehensive strategy to defeat #ISIS & to stop the war criminal #Assad. Our message last night: we will not turn our back to the horrific, inhumane use of chemical weapons in #Syria or anywhere else.
