Iran ships 1st aid cargo to Syria

An Iranian plane carrying 40 tons of Iran’s humanitarian aid arrived in the Syrian capital, Damascus, on Thursday.

The first shipment of Iran’s aid to the friendly country, Syria, has been delivered in line with the broad relations between the two countries and Tehran’s support for Damascus, following the recent developments, Iran’s Ambassador to Syria Mohammad Reza Raouf Sheibani told IRNA on Thursday.

He added that Iran would also send off three more cargos including foodstuff, ambulance, tents and blankets to Syria’s crisis-hit areas.

The envoy emphasized that Iran’s aid demonstrates the amity and compassion of the Iranian people towards the Syrians who are suffering from terrorist attacks in Syria.

Iran’s Red Crescent Society announced on Wednesday that the supplies are sent in response to a call by the Syrian Red Crescent Society.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March and many people, including security forces, have lost their lives in the violence.

The West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of killing the protesters. But Damascus blames ”outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
