Coronavirus Pandemic in Iran
Iran is facing a crisis with the number of individuals infected by the coronavirus climbing daily. This has affected the medical sector and increased prices of medicine.
Additionally, due to high rate of business closures, there is a shortage of food and supplies. Our team on the ground has been assessing the situation with the Ministry of Health. To help control the spread of the virus we are providing N-95 masks, surgical gloves, disinfectant wipes, alcohol wipes, and hand sanitizers to medical clinics and hospitals that serve the vulnerable communities. Additionally, our team will provide food and other basic necessities to children and families affected.
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity during this difficult time for the people in #Iran.
