Two Iranian Red Crescent ships are setting their sights on Gaza.
The ships, which will carry food, medical aid and volunteer medical personnel, may already be on their way, according to some news reports. The Iranians do not want to disclose the flotilla’s schedule.
More than 100,000 Iranians reportedly volunteered for the trip. The Red Crescent said it also would send 30 tons of medical equipment by plane to Egypt to be transferred to Gaza. — jta
