Tehran, April 13, IRNA – The French diplomatic mission in Tehran announced that the 2nd humanitarian aids consignment was delivered to the Iranian Red Crescent Society for flood-stricken people.

The consignment consists of 114 water drainage pumps and 210 blankets.

First aids consignment from France, including 114 motor pumps, 300 kitchen kits and 5,000 blankets arrived in Tehran on Thursday night.

Unprecedented heavy rains caused floods in various parts of Iran over past two weeks. Scores of people were killed and 478 others were injured while a large number of people were displaced across Iran.

The disaster coincided with the high season of Iranians' trips as they were spending the national two-week holidays of Nowruz.

Several regional countries, such as Turkey, Russia and Kuwait as well as a few European states have sent in assistance to be received by the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) in the flood-hit regions.
