Iran has shipped consignments of humanitarian aid supplies to Egypt for the people of Gaza, the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s spokesman said.
Speaking to reporters at a weekly presser on Monday, Nasser Kanaani said the delivery of aid supplies for the Gaza Strip has been at the top of the agenda.
Highlighting Iran’s efforts and its extensive consultations with Egypt, he said the consignments of Iranian aid for Palestinians have been shipped to Egyptian ports after coordination between the Red Crescent societies of the two countries.
“It is not possible for Iran to send aid supplies to Palestine directly. The Egyptian government has also announced in its consultations (with Iran) that sadly the (Israeli) regime does not permit the transit of aid, but this has not prevented Iran from making efforts. Iran has made attempts and has sent aid through Egypt,” he said.
Iran has slammed as a “ridiculous, bitter show” the US dispatch of aid to Gaza while simultaneously blocking international efforts to establish a ceasefire in the besieged Palestinian territory.
