TEHRAN, Sept 19 (Bernama-IRNA) -- The head of the Basij Medical Organisation, a volunteer force of Iran’s medical community announced the arrival of the first medical group of Iran to Lebanon to provide aid to those injured in the Zionist regime's terrorist attack, the Islamic republic news agency (IRNA) reported.
Considering the number of injured, we sent the first medical group to Lebanon in less than 24 hours to provide relief in coordination with related institutions, and this group consists of mainly ophthalmologists based on the needs of the injured, Mohammad Hossein Zarezadeh said on Wednesday night.
He also stated that Iran is ready to send the next medical teams, saying necessary arrangements have also been made with several hospitals and medical centers inside the country to accept the injured Lebanese.
Following the incident, the Iranian Red Crescent Society dispatched a medical relief team, including 12 doctors, 12 nurses, and paramedics to Lebanon early on Wednesday to assist in the treatment process of the injured.
Iranian officials have expressed the country’s full readiness to provide any assistance needed by the Lebanese government and nation.
A group of injured Lebanese have already transferred to Iran for medical treatment after the deadly Israeli terrorist attack on the Arab country on Tuesday.
