Iranian Red Crescent calls on the international community to send humanitarian aid to Gaza Strip

Tehran, (ST) – The head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, Pir Hossein Kolivand called for filing a complaint with the International Criminal Court to prosecute the Zionist entity for preventing humanitarian relief aid from reaching Gaza Strip.

During his meeting yesterday in Tehran, the deputy of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Committees, Emmanuel Beslier criticized the international community’s inaction and failure to fulfill its responsibilities in sending the required quantities of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, more than 100 days after the Zionist aggression.

Kolivand expressed the readiness and desire of the Iranian Red Crescent to build sustainable and bilateral cooperation with the International Organization of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. He called at the same time to take appropriate measures in accordance with standards of neutrality in order to facilitate the arrival of Iranian humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in Gaza.

Previously, in his speech during the International Humanitarian Conference in Support of Palestine in Tehran, Kolivand called for the establishment of an international financial fund to provide aid to the Palestinian people, especially in light of the continuing Israeli aggression against Gaza Strip. He stressed the need to hold the Zionist entity accountable for its brutal crimes against the defenseless Palestinian people, including its siege of the Gaza Strip, its repeated attacks on hospitals, and its plans for the forced displacement of Palestinians.
