Iran to set up nine medical relief camps

19 Sep, 2010

Iran says it plans to set up several medical camps in Pakistan after devastating floods hit the South Asian country. Mobile hospital includes nine camps and three ambulance buses, Iran Health Minister Marzieh Vahid Dastjerdi said. He said hospital will be set up according to decision made by Iran's medical team sent to Pakistan.
Dasjerdi expressed Iran's readiness to send more humanitarian aid to Pakistan including blood and medicine. Iran increased its humanitarian aids to flood-victims by offering Pakistan $100 million aid package. Earlier, Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said measures taken to aid Pakistani people were insufficient, urging all Muslims to help their brothers in Pakistan. He described flood disaster in Pakistan as the 'most urgent' issue of Muslim world. He expressed deep sorrow over catastrophic floods and lingering humanitarian crisis it has brought to the country.
