Aid groups seek to boost relief shipments into Iran as conflict displaces millions

Tuesday, 14 April 2026, 20:03 · 1 min read

International humanitarian organisations are scaling up overland aid deliveries into Iran after nearly six weeks of conflict stemming from the United States-Israeli war, which has killed more than 3,000 people and displaced up to 3.2 million, according to Iranian authorities. Air and sea routes have been blocked by the fighting, making land crossings through Türkiye and Jordan the primary channels for relief; the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) delivered one of the first humanitarian shipments since the war began via a convoy from Ankara carrying trauma kits, tents, and blankets, while the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) dispatched 14 trucks from Jordan with household supplies for around 25,000 people. The effort comes during a fragile two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran, with aid officials warning that medical needs are acute and that the Iranian Red Crescent Society has lost four relief workers during the crisis.
