answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/12/2020 answer text <p>The Government has discussed this matter with the United States Government. We share the concerns about Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp destabilising activity in Yemen and condemn the ongoing Houthi cross-border attacks. However, Yemen is one of the world's worst humanitarian crises and our main priority is to support the UN's peace process and ensure life-saving humanitarian aid can reach the millions of Yemenis in need. We are not considering proscribing at this time. We keep the use of sanctions under review.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 23/12/2020 16:05:49 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>The number of 115,000 lives saved is compiled by Syria Civil Defence (SCD), popularly known as the White Helmets, based on operational reports from the SCD volunteer teams and corroborated with video evidence, airstrike data and other reporting from multiple sources including human rights organisations. The number is indeed supported by Mayday Rescue, which is funded by the UK and other donors to provide support to the SCD's work. The UK and other donors also commission independent third party monitoring of the SCD's work in Syria.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/11/2018 15:39:58 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
