Iran’s Red Crescent sends aid to Armenia’s flood-hit regions

The Iranian Red Crescent Society has sent humanitarian aid to the victims of deadly floods that hit northern Armenia on May 25-26.

Several settlements still remain cut off from the outside world after the country’s worst flooding in decades that killed four people and caused extensive damage to local infrastructure.

Due to heavy rainfall, rivers flowing through Lori and Tavush burst their banks early on May 26, washing away roads, bridges and parts of a railway and flooding towns and villages located along them.
