24 Nov 2017 - 13:04


IRNA � Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) rejected rumors it sent aid packages meant for quake-hit people in Kermanshah Province to the Syrian city of Albukamal, saying IRCS has focused on the affected people of the western Iranian province.

IRCS� twitter account said that humanitarian aid irrespective of religion, race and nationality is admirable, but no aid cargo has been sent to Albukamal.

'All IRCS� consignments bear its emblem and reviewing the films and images will make it clear that there was not such a thing,' it said.

A 7.3-magnitude earthquake hit Kermanshah Province in west of Iran on November 12, killing over 444 and wounding 12,386 people.
