By IRNA,
Tehran : Iran will send two separate cargos of humanitarian aid for the oppressed people of Gaza next week, it was reported Monday.
The announcement was made by an official in charge of the support for Palestinians and sending humanitarian aid for the oppressed people of Gaza.
Mohammad Ali Nouraee said the first cargo will be shipped to the Gaza Strip from the southern port of Khorramshahr in Khuzestan province.
Khorramshahr is the symbol of Iranians’ resistance against the enemy during the eight years of Iraq’s imposed war against Iran 1980-1988 while Gaza is the symbol of the resistance of the Palestinian people, said the official.
“The first Iranian ship sailing to Gaza is called the Convoy to Gaza,” Nouraee said.
He added that the second cargo will also be sent to the besieged area from north of Iran via the country’s border with Turkey and then will be shipped to Gaza through Istanbul.
Nouraee stressed that the two convoys would move with no security arrangements as “we are not to fight. We will go for help and we may even become martyred in this way.”
