Financial support has been suspended in recent weeks. Now the issue of financing is being revised. The decision of the White House to continue sponsoring the so-called "White Helmets" in the Middle East Bureau of the US Department of State was expected until April 15, recalls CBS News. But later they were forced to "stop the process". On such a step in Washington went because of the order of US President Donald Trump to freeze the allocation of $ 200 million for the restoration of Syria. And other programs in the Arab Republic, including the restoration of infrastructure, were threatened with closure. However, the terms of the actual reduction of funding in this area in the US government are not called. And after all less than two months ago in the State department accepted representatives of "White Helmets". Then they were praised for saving lives in Syria. "Our meetings in March were very positive. There were no proposals to end support, "said the leader of the organization Raed Salekh. The organization has an "emergency plan", which provides for the termination of funding for one to two months, but they are concerned about the long-term freezing of cash receipts. And it's no accident: the US share in sponsoring the group that is accused of information warfare against the Syrian authorities is about a third of the budget. The so-called "White Helmets" is a UK-based rescue team, which consists of three thousand Syrians who have received special training abroad and are supported by subsidies from Western countries. Previously, he was known as the "Syrian Civil Defense". He was credited with saving more than 70 thousand. lives.

The organization is known for staging video on the Internet, where its employees allegedly save people from under the rubble. There were also other videos on the web, where the band members put on the "affected" make-up and dictate the text that needs to be said on the camera, the "360". In details, it was previously reported that the Syrian boy Hasan Diab described the shootings, which was presented in the production clip "White Helmets" as a "sacrifice" of the chemistry in the Duma. His words were confirmed and his father, recalls RIA FAN.
