The visit of the head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) to Geneva this week has become a platform for highlighting the humanitarian dimensions of the war and pursuing the rights of victims and aid workers, according to IRNA.

The three-day visit by Pirhossein Kolivand included meetings with senior officials from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the United Nations, and representatives of several countries.

Kolivand described the attacks on residential areas, hospitals, educational centres, ambulances, rescue vehicles, and Red Crescent helicopters as “blatant violations of international humanitarian law”.
