“Despite the challenges posed by sanctions, the Red Crescent has made many efforts to ensure the well-being of immigrants,” Dr Soleimani said.

He also highlighted the Iranian Red Crescent's activities in the field of volunteers and the Arbaeen walk, and expressed appreciation for ICRC's cooperation in providing public education to areas in the country affected by mines and explosives since the Iran-Iraq war in the 80s.
