Iran Red Crescent to send 2 aid ships to Gaza
2010-06-08
[Al Arabiya Latest] The Iranian Red Crescent has decided to send two aid ships to Gaza this week in the latest bid to break the blockade imposed on the Palestinian territory by Iran's regional arch foe Israel.

Red Crescent director for international affairs Abdul Rauf Adibzadeh told the state IRNA news agency 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.

#3  Gaza's infant mortality is lower than either Iran's or Turkey's.

That is because if the infant has issues they are immediately sent to an Israeli hospital.

Perhaps, it's Gaza that should be sending the health relief.

#1  Iran? Going to send ANOTHER "Freedom Flotilla" are they?

yeah?

Do 'em at night. Blanket all their transmissions before going in. Take everyone aboard below and comwire them to the bilge bulkheads. Set the timer charge to blow a hole straight through the Keel and leave all the hatches open.

You cant do that? Sure you can.
