Tehran, IRNA – The president of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) sent a message of condolence to his counterpart in the Pakistan Red Crescent, expressing the Society’s readiness to support the flood-affected people in the port city of Gwadar.

In a message to his Pakistani counterpart Sardar Shahid Ahmed Laghari on Wednesday, Pir Hossein Kolivand expressed Iran’s readiness to send relief and medical teams to help humanitarian operations in Pakistan.

Heavy torrential rains wreaked havoc in the port city of Gwadar, Kech district, and other parts of Balochistan, suspending normal life and traffic on the coastal highway that cut off Gwadar and Ormara from Karachi and other parts of the province.

It was the hardest rain spell in Gwadar district after 2010 when heavy rains lashed due to a cyclone that hit the coast of Gwadar.

The officials said that during the last 12 hours, the coastal district has received over 100 millimeters of rain which is unusual.
