answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2017 answer text <p>Syria Civil Defence (SCD), also known as the White Helmets, play an invaluable role in rescuing people from the devastation caused by Syrian regime and Russian air strikes. Over 3100 volunteer women and men, deliver community-based services to approximately seven million Syrian civilians living in opposition-controlled areas. To date they have saved over 95,000 lives and conducted extensive mine risk awareness campaigns to help civilians protect themselves from unexploded ordnance. Additionally, SCD provides other important services, including fire fighting, light infrastructure repair and first responder medical care. So far 91 SCD volunteers have been killed and hundreds more injured while carrying out their work. The White Helmets’ have attracted positive international recognition, which is the key reason why the Syrian regime and Russia are trying to discredit them through a concerted disinformation campaign.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/07/2017 15:13:59 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
