Iran says Egypt dragging its feet on allowing aid into Gaza
[Ynet] Tehran said 100 tons of humanitarian goods have been waiting for Egyptian approval: 'This is unacceptable.'
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said on Wednesday 100 tons of humanitarian aid had been waiting for days for Egypt's approval to be taken into Gazoo.
"For the past days we have provided the Egyptian foreign ministry and their interest section in Tehran with information on shipment of humanitarian goods and the list of 57 severely maimed Paleostinian women and kiddies we have offered to bring here for medical treatment, but they have yet to issue a permit," he told the official IRNA news agency.
Egyptian foreign ministry officials were not immediately available for comment.
