TEHRAN, Feb. 04 (MNA) – Head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) Pirhossein Kolivand said on Sunday that IRCS has dispatched two ships besides an air cargo carrying Iranian humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

Explaining the details of the dispatched cargo to Gaza, Kolivand said that the consignment inside the ships carries aid provided by the Iranian people that included medical and health materials plus aid specifically for the wintertime, like tents, and blankets.

The Red Crescent also sent a ship last month, and the new ship recently passed through the Strait of Hormuz and it will soon reach the Gaza, he added.

He said that more than 10,000 tons of items have been donated by the Iranian people to the Red Crescent to help the people of Gaza, showing a record of helping.

The Zionist regime waged the Gaza war on October 7 after the Palestinian Resistance movement, Hamas, carried out a surprise operation into the occupied territories in retaliation for the regime’s ceaseless atrocities against the Palestinian people over the past seven decades.

So far, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least  27,019 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 66,139 others.

The Israeli military has committed war crimes in Gaza by targeting medical facilities, personnel, and transport and destroying the healthcare system in the Palestinian territory.
