Preparing 400 tons of medicine and 88 ambulances for Arbaeen celebrations
The Islamic Republic has prepared 88 ambulances and 400 tons of medicine for the Arbaeen 1402 ceremony.
As the Arbaeen ceremony approaches and travelers travel to Iraq for the ceremony, the government has been making preparations for the ceremony for the past few months.
In recent months, Mohammad Ismail Tavakoli, head of the Tehran Provincial Emergency Center, announced regarding the state of ambulances that the state of Tehran's emergency department is not good at all and that we are seriously facing a shortage of ambulance fleets. However, the government, regardless of this problem, is sending a number of ambulances to Iraq for the Arbaeen ceremony.
Pirhossein Kolivand, head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, also announced that 88 ambulances, ambulance buses, rescue vehicles, and 400 tons of medicine will be sent to Iraq for the Arbaeen ceremonies, regardless of the shortage of ambulance fleet.
The regime's generosity in sending 400 tons of medicine and ambulances to Iraq for the Arbaeen ceremony, while many Iranians are facing a shortage of medicine and some are buying medicine at very high prices.
The medicines that are currently being sent to people traveling to Iraq are out of reach of the Iranian people, and those who protest the shortage of medicines are being told that they are under sanctions. This claim by the government comes despite the fact that no country has been and will never be under sanctions for access to medicines, but rather they are being hoarded by the government to be sent to other countries in times of need.
Many Iranians, who woke up from their slumber after the nationwide revolution and felt the oppression of the regime with their own flesh and blood, showed their protest against the regime with revolutionary slogans during the Ashura ceremony and denied mourning for an event that happened 1400 years ago. The Iranian people also announced that they would not participate in the Arbaeen ceremony and would only take to the streets to demand justice for the blood shed by the regime.
