  • Iranian Red Crescent Society offers medical services in Iraq

The Iranian Red Crescent Society is providing medical services in Iraq’s holy city of Karbala, which is hosting millions of pilgrims during the Arba'een season.

Huge crowds of Shia Muslims start their journey to mark Arba'een, the 40th day after the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (PBUH), the third Shias' Imam, from the holy city of Najaf in Iraq, where the holy shrine of Imam Ali (PBUH) is located.
