(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The 30-ton cargo, including tents, blankets, stretchers, electric engines, first aid kits and dishes was sent to the Yemeni people suffering from recent public uprising in their country.
The cargo was sent to Yemen from the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas.
Iran has repeatedly announced its support for the people of Somalia, stressing that it would spare no effort to help the Somalis survive the tragic situation.
The drought and famine have affected more than 11.8 million people across Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. Somalia has been the hardest-hit country in what is being described as the worst drought in the Horn of Africa in 60 years.
According to the United Nations, it is estimated that a quarter of Somalia's population of 9.9 million are now either internally displaced or living outside the country as refugees.
The UN has declared famine in five areas in Southern Somalia, warning that, without urgent intervention, the food crisis could engulf the entire southern areas.
