The Red Cross and Turkey’s Red Crescent on Friday (April 10, 2026) dispatched an emergency humanitarian aid convoy from Turkey to Iran, as the organisation warned of a “desperate” humanitarian situation in the country.
“Humanitarian needs in Iran are extremely high,” International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) spokesperson Scott Craig told AFP shortly before the convoy departed from the outskirts of Ankara.
