Sanctions on Iran have had a significant economic impact. We are working with the international community to ensure that Iran receives the humanitarian support it needs: the E3 (the UK, France and Germany) have provided a EUR 5 million package of financial and material assistance to Iran via the World Health Organisation and UN bodies to help with the response.
