"The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) said on Tuesday that it had delivered life-saving aid and medical supplies, marking one of the first humanitarian shipments since the war began."
"Iran faces a deepening humanitarian crisis after nearly six weeks of conflict that has killed more than 3,000 people, according to Iranian authorities, and displaced up to 3.2 million."
"The operation is critical as humanitarian supply chains into Iran have been severely disrupted in recent weeks due to the conflict, making it increasingly difficult and more costly for essential medical and relief items to reach those in need."
"Needs are high, medical needs in particular, but also the psychological toll on people is immense, Della Longa said."
Humanitarian aid efforts in Iran are facing significant challenges due to air and sea route closures amid ongoing conflict. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has initiated aid shipments, marking a crucial response to the humanitarian crisis affecting millions. Recent deliveries included trauma kits, tents, and blankets, while additional aid from the Turkish Red Crescent Society provided emergency shelters and hygiene kits. The psychological and medical needs of the population are immense, compounded by the loss of relief workers in the field.
