Iran Red Crescent To Send Two Aid Ships To Gaza
2010-06-07
The Iranian Red Crescent has decided to send two aid ships to Gaza this week and has called for volunteers to act as relief workers and accompany the vessels, the state IRNA news agency reported.
One does wonder about the skills of these relief workers.
Iranian Red Crescent director Abdolrauf Adibzadeh told IRNA late on Sunday that the decision to send the ships was taken after a meeting with the foreign ministry.

"One ship will carry donations made by the people and the other will carry relief workers. The ships will be sent to Gaza by end of this week," Adibzadeh said.

#4  No biggie. Any legitimate Red Crescent Thingy ship ought to head straight for Ashdod once "reminded".

Oh, and better get Iranians who won't mind being touched by joooos.

Better put tracker ankle bracelets on the "Relief Workers".

#2  I heard they're also going to be transporting several million dollars worth of gold to Gaza. Gee I sure hope the Somali pirates don't find out.
