Iran's humanitarian aid arrives in Haiti
A planeload of 30 tons of humanitarian aid, including foodstuff, tents and medicines has landed in a Haiti airport, an official from Iran’s Red Crescent Society said.

Head of IRCS’s Public Relaions Hadi Behdad told IRNA Tuesday that sugar, tuna fish and detergents were also among Iran’s aid sent for the disaster-hit nation.

Iran?s humanitarian aid arrived in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, via Venezuela, Behdad added.

Meanwhile, a 30-member team of Iran’s doctors and relief workers was also dispatched to the quake-stricken country on Monday.

The Iranian team is to set up a mobile clinic and distribute medicines among the disaster-hit people of Haiti.

2. Kudos to Iran and their doctors.
They, and all the other medical professionals are really puttijng themselves on the line. They have to bring everything they need to live with them. They risk getting sick themselves, including contracting AIDS during surgery.
