  • Iran sends two more consignments of relief aid to Syria’s Aleppo

The Islamic Republic of Iran has dispatched two more consignments of humanitarian aid to people in Syria’s recently-liberated northwestern city of Aleppo.

According to Press TV, President of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) Amir Mohsen Ziaee told the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) News Agency that the body had sent 70 tonnes of relief aid to Aleppo over the last week after the city was fully liberated from foreign-backed Takfiri terrorists.

He added that the shipment included food, tents and medicine.

The IRCS said Iran had previously dispatched three consignments of humanitarian aid to Aleppo.

Earlier in December, Iran dispatched its third consignment of relief aid, including 150,000 food cans, to Aleppo.

Two consignments of relief aid, weighing about 80 tonnes, had already been sent to the crisis-hit city in late November. They included tents, blankets and oil heaters.
