Red Cross Plans to Send Iran More Aid After Turkey Shipment
IFRC spokesperson Tommaso Della Longa told reporters in Geneva that the convoy, which left Ankara on Friday and entered Iran on Sunday, represents “one of the first cross-border shipments of medical supplies since the start of the conflict,” as stated in his remarks.
The delivery, coordinated with the Turkish Red Crescent, included advanced trauma kits intended to provide urgent life-saving treatment in emergency situations.
Della Longa noted that humanitarian supply routes into Iran have been “severely disrupted,” prompting aid organizations to rely on overland transport routes from eastern Türkiye.
He added that the current shipment may mark the beginning of a broader aid channel, saying, “Beyond the first shipment, we hope that this will be the start of getting more aid into Iran,” and confirmed that further deliveries are already being planned, according to reports.
He also described the operation as an initial but important step in strengthening the Iranian Red Crescent’s emergency response capacity amid ongoing challenges in accessing essential supplies.
