13 Apr 2019 - 12:29


IRNA – The Emirati and Saudi Red Crescents will send humanitarian aids to the Iranian flood-stricken people.

According to the UAE media, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia announced that they will allocate aids based on the Islamic brotherhood and emphasis on solidarity with Iranians.

Two countries’ Red Crescents are now after finding necessary mechanism to implement the plan and to maintain cooperation to prevent consequences of the floods.

Unprecedented heavy rains caused floods in various parts of Iran over past two weeks. Scores of people were killed and 478 others were injured while a large number of people were displaced across Iran.

The disaster coincided with the high season of Iranians' trips as they were spending the national two-week holidays of Nowruz.

Several regional countries, such as Turkey, Russia and Kuwait as well as a few European states have sent in in-kind assistance to be received by the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) in the flood-hit regions.
