What the petition asks
Sieges in cities such as Aleppo are preventing many hundreds of thousands of civilians from receiving humanitarian aid and access to hospitals. Given the situations in other countries, the UK must take a leading role in protecting civilians in Syria from violence by ALL actors, including the state.
