The event, dubbed “International Humanitarian Conference to Support Palestine (Gaza)" took place in Tehran on Sunday, bringing together representatives from the Red Crescent Societies in Turkiye, Qatar, Libya, Afghanistan, South Africa, and Tajikistan. Delegates from Islamic Committee of the International Crescent (ICIC), a relief institution affiliated to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, were also in attendance.
The proposal to form a joint monetary fund aimed at supporting the people of Gaza was put forward by Head of Iran’s Red Crescent Society Hossein Koulivand who addressed the conference.
He argued that such a fund is needed in the wake of ineffectiveness of international bodies to send aid to Gaza, which he blamed on obstructionism of the Israeli regime as it hampers relief efforts in the besieged territory.
As part of other measures to support Gazans, the Iranian official proposed using what he called humanitarian diplomacy aimed at bringing a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and presenting international courts with evidence on the regime’s crimes.
Mohsen Mansouri, Iran’s deputy president for executive affairs, addressed the conference as well. He said that the Israeli regime has failed to achieve its goals in Gaza despite more than 100 days of bloodshed there and is now gripped in a war of attrition.
