TEHRAN – With its expanded fleet as well as large, equipped, and well-organized warehouse, the Iranian Red Crescent Society is a role model worldwide for members of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said an IFRC official.

The Iranian Red Crescent Society is one of the largest red crescent societies in the world with the highest responsibility, said Darmin Tucker, a Beirut-based official at the IFRC, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, IRNA reported.

Experiences of the Iranian Red Crescent Society in the fields of logistics should be shared with other members of the IFRC, he said, adding that these successful experiences should be translated into the English language to be provided to other members.

Francesco Rocca, head of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), said in May that the Iranian Red Crescent Society has done its best in providing support to refugees despite U.S. sanctions and international pressures.

IFRC head Francesco Rocca said in May that the Iranian Red Crescent Society has done its best in providing support to refugees despite U.S. sanctions and international pressures.

“We are well aware that the Government of the Islamic Republic, despite sanctions and political pressures, has never stopped supporting the Red Crescent Society and is one of the few governments that has always had the full support of the Society,” Rocca stated.

Expanding cooperation with the IRCS is one of the policies and priorities of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and today we proudly announce that Iran, as the educational hub of this international organization, is transferring its experiences to other countries and aid workers worldwide, he highlighted.
