Iran to Send Urgent Humanitarian Aid to Gaza
The Iranian government has announced plans to deliver emergency humanitarian aid to Gaza through the Iranian Red Crescent, amid the worsening humanitarian crisis in the region.
Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani
confirmed
on Tuesday that preparations are underway to dispatch the aid, according to Iran's Tasnim News Agency. The move comes as conditions in Gaza continue to deteriorate under the ongoing Israeli military operations.
Mohajerani strongly condemned what she described as the brutal crimes committed by Israel in Gaza, criticising the international community's silence in the face of what she called the killing of innocent civilians.
Since the beginning of the war on 7 October 2023 and up to 22 July 2025, more than 59,000 Palestinians have been killed and around 143,000 injured, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
Just on Tuesday alone, Israeli airstrikes reportedly claimed the lives of 85 Palestinians, including at least 31 people waiting for humanitarian aid, with many others injured, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
Iran's aid initiative is expected to be one of several regional responses as humanitarian concerns in Gaza continue to draw urgent international attention.
