The Iranian Red Crescent has decided to send two aid ships to Gaza
this week and has called for volunteers to act as relief workers and
accompany the vessels, ITAR-TASS reported, citing the Iranian Red
Crescent director Abdolrauf Adibzadeh .
The decision to send the ships was taken after a meeting with the
foreign ministry."One ship will carry donations made by the people and
the other will carry relief workers. The ships will be sent to Gaza by
