'Iran aid ship nearing Gaza'

An Iranian ship carrying humanitarian aid for Palestinians is scheduled to arrive at the port of Gaza in the coming days, a report says.

The ship, which carries medicine and foods, has passed through the Suez Canal and awaits for legal permissions to enter Gaza, IRIB reported.

According to the report, it is likely that the ship will dock at the port of Gaza on Saturday.

The Gaza strip has been gripped by a humanitarian crisis since it came under massive Israeli fire on December 27. Gaza residents are suffering from a shortage of fuel, medicine, food and water.

3. Due in Gaza Sunday...

TEHRAN, Jan 10 (KUNA) -- An Iranian ship loaded with humanitarian supplies for the Palestinians in Gaza Strip was scheduled to reach Gaza port on Sunday, the Iranian Red Crescent Society said Saturday.

Abdul Raouf Adeeb, director of international affairs at the society, said in a statement the ship carried 2,000 tons of assistance to the Gazans and would be leaving the Suez Canal for Gaza port tonight.

The vessel, which belongs to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, should dock at Gaza port in coordination with international organizations like the UN, the ICRC, the International Federation of Rec Cross and Crescent (IFRC) and the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, said Adeeb.

The ship would be carrying wheat, rice, oils, medicine and cereals, he added.
If the shipment reach the needy Gazans, said Adeeb, more ships would be dispatched to the Palestinians.

The Iranian society had already sent 40 tons of relief supplies and handed over the shipment to the Egyptian red crescent to relay them to the Gazans.
