answer text <p>The UK is still the largest donor to the South Sudan Health Pool Fund (HPF3), providing up to £175 million from 2018 to 2024. HPF3 supports more than 500 public health facilities across South Sudan, including 15 hospitals, and around 4,400 community health workers. In August, the FCDO, on behalf of HPF3 donors, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the South Sudanese Government, setting out how we will transition responsibility for the provision of health services at seven state hospitals and Al-Saba Children's Hospital to the South Sudanese authorities by March 2023. By sustaining our support for community health workers, we will enable continued treatment for common childhood illnesses in locations where there has been a withdrawal of HPF3 funding.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK does not have economic sanctions on Zimbabwe. The UK has targeted sanctions on five Zimbabwean individuals to hold them to account for serious human rights violations and corruption. These sanctions do not target, and specifically seek to avoid impact on, the wider economy and the people of Zimbabwe. Therefore we assess that UK sanctions do not impact the healthcare sector or energy security in Zimbabwe.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The sentencing to death of protestors in Iran is abhorrent. I [Minister Rutley] condemned this tragic development in the House on 16 November. The UK opposes the death penalty in all circumstances and will challenge the Iranian regime's violent response to protests. On 14 November, the UK sanctioned 24 individuals for violations of human rights in the repression of protests. This is on top of sanctions on 10 October against Iran's 'so called' morality police and seven security officials. On 24 November, the UK supported a successful Human Rights Council resolution to establish a UN investigation into the regime's appalling human rights violations. The FCDO is also working closely with the United States and partners to seek the removal of Iran from the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Baha'i community in Iran is systematically persecuted by the Iranian regime. Reports indicate the regime redoubled repression, with expropriation, repossession of land, destruction of homes, and increasing detention of Baha'is. Minister for the Middle East and Human Rights, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad, stated on 5 August that Iran's persecution of religious minorities was a serious human rights violation and could not be tolerated by the UK.</p><p>The former Minister for Africa reiterated our commitment to holding Iran to account at the Westminster Hall debate of 11 October. The UK raised the Baha'i at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) Third Committee on 26 October and pressed for the inclusion of the Baha'i in the UNGA Resolution which passed on 16 November. We continue to raise human rights with the regime at all appropriate opportunities, both directly and in multilateral fora.</p> more like this
