TEHRAN: Iran’s Red Crescent said Thursday it has prepared an aid package for Myanmar’s Rohingya Muslims as they flee a crackdown by security forces, local media reported.
“An emergency, food, life support and hygiene package has been prepared by the Red Crescent to be sent to Myanmar,” said head of the organisation Morteza Salimi, according to the news agency.
The aid package would be “immediately sent to the oppressed people of this country if we receive authorisation from Myanmar,” he said, adding it had been ordered by President Hassan Rouhani.
