Iran sends second cargo of humanitarian aid to Syria

Iran dispatched large batch of humanitarian aids to Syria to help Syrian people who are facing with shortage of food and medical supplies. The 40-ton shipment, which included medicines, blankets, tents, medical tools and dialysis equipment, arrived in the Syrian capital city of Damascus on Thursday. Also on Thursday, the crisis-hit Syria received the first batch of humanitarian aids sent by Iran's Red Crescent Society. Iran's Red Crescent Society announced on Wednesday that the supplies are sent in response to a call by the Syrian Red Crescent Society. Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country. In October, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies are seeking hard to bring the country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope of stirring unrests in Syria once again.
