Footage indicates Iranian Red Crescent has established shelters in Gaza for displaced Palestinians

The Iranian Red Crescent has established shelters for displaced Palestinians in northern and southern Gaza, recent footage uncovered by the Kan public broadcaster reveals.

The footage shows the Iranian flag plastered on a sign hung at one of the shelters where food was being distributed to children.

The president of the Iranian Red Crescent has claimed that his organization has donated tens of thousands of tons of food and medical equipment to Gaza since the outbreak of the war.

In November, Arabic media reported that Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi rejected a request from his Iranian counterpart Ebrahim Raisi for Tehran to donate aid to Gaza, as Cairo feared the Islamic Republic would use this to gain a foothold in the enclave. The recent footage raises questions regarding the accuracy of that reporting.
