Tehran, June 15, IRNA – An official with Iran’s Red Crescent Society said Tuesday that four tons of humanitarian aid would be sent to Gaza within coming days, it was reported Tuesday.

Head of the IRCS’ relief organization Mahmoud Mozafar told IRNA that the aid including foodstuffs, clothing and medicines would be sent to the besieged area by Iran’s first ship which is to leave the country’s southern port of Khorramshahr in Khuzestan province in coming days.
Iran had previously announced that it was to ship its first humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip by an Iranian ship which would be called “the Convoy to Gaza.”
The second cargo would also be sent to Gaza from north of Iran via the country’s border with Turkey and then will be shipped to Gaza through Istanbul.
According to Mozafar, the first ship would carry humanitarian aid while the second ship would take an Iranian medical team to the besieged area.
Over 100,000 Iranians have, so far, been volunteered to be dispatched to the Gaza Strip to help the oppressed Gazans in the region which is locked by the Zionist regime since three years ago.
“The IRCS is waiting for Foreign Ministry’s permission to send the first ship to Gaza,” Mozafar added.
