Iran plans to send aid to Gaza after Egypt said it would allow the shipment to enter the territory, an Iranian diplomatic source said on Friday, according to AFP.
The official IRNA news agency said Cairo had agreed to transfer humanitarian aid bound for the coastal enclave, citing a foreign ministry source in Tehran.
The source said a first Iranian Red Crescent shipment of 100 tons of medicine and food would be flown "soon" to Cairo.
"The package weighs 100 tons and consists of food and medication," IRNA quoted the source as saying.
Tehran said at the end of July it had sent a first shipment of aid to Cairo that was awaiting authorization to enter Gaza via the Rafiah crossing.
United Nations humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said during a visit to Iran on Sunday that it will take months to repair damage to the UN's infrastructure caused by the Israeli bombardment.
A total of 97 UNRWA installations, including health and food distribution centers as well as schools, have been damaged in the war between Israel and the Hamas movement which controls the territory.
Iran does not recognize Israel and provides financial and military assistance to Islamist Palestinian terrorist groups.

Russian style..more ammo
Iran is sending more Humanatarian aid to Gaza.Yea!Aid like explosives,Ammuntion,Rockets and vests to carry the explosives in.You know it’s strictly all Humanatarian.
What B.S.
No ammo, no rockets... just good stuff.
Like cement, for more schools and hospitals. Ball bearings, for bicycles. Tons of nails, screws to build things - seconds are fine, if a few of them are broken, bent, no problem. Pipes, to replace all the destroyed plumbing.
Iran sent the same “humanitarian aid” to Gaza that the USSR sent to Ukraine.Lots of rockets and not so much penicillin.
