Iran ready to send rescue aid to US amid California fires: IRCS head
"Drawing on our extensive experience in addressing natural and humanitarian disasters, we, in the Iranian Red Crescent Society, are ready to swiftly dispatch our specialized rapid reaction teams, rescue equipment, and committed and trained personnel to the [affected] areas," he said.
He added that the large-scale wildfires have devastated vast areas of the United States, "destroyed many homes and lives, jeopardized thousands of innocent people's lives, and turned the country's beautiful nature into ashes".
He emphasized that California fires not only constituted a national crisis but also a "wound on the human conscience” that inflicted pain on all responsible and compassionate people around the world.
He noted that the heart-wrenching scenes of people struggling to breathe under a sky filled with smoke and fire highlight the need to take action.
"On behalf of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, I assure you that you are not alone in these difficult moments," Kolivand said.
He added that the recent wildfires in the United States have shown that controlling the crisis exceeds local capabilities and requires global assistance to extinguish the flames.
The rapid spread of fire through nature poses not only a threat to human lives but also the future of the planet and the environment, he noted.
