Iran Dispatch 100 Tons of Medicine, to Yemen
KABUL: (Middle East Press) A ship carrying a 12-member medical team from Iran as well as over 100 tons of the country’s aid comprising medicine and medical equipment was dispatched to Yemen on Wednesday morning.
IRCS Deputy Managing Director Seyed Reza Rais Karami told reporters on Wednesday that the humanitarian aid dispatch was sent to Yemen as people are suffering from Saudi’s deadly aggression during the past 2 months.
The IRCS has been trying to dispatch humanitarian aid to Yemen through sea and air, but has so far been unable to do so due to Saudi Arabia’s blockade of the war-ravaged country.
Before sending aids through sea, Saudi jet fighters bombed the Sana’a airport control tower and runway seven times to prevent the Iranian defying pilot from landing.
Iran had earlier sent five consignments of humanitarian aid to Yemen, including a total of 69 tons of relief, medical, treatment, and consumer items.
