Chinese Ambassador to Iran
Pang2 Sen handed over the aid materials to an Iranian representative after a brief signing ceremony.
Among the materials are 2,600
waterproof3 camps, which were carried by a
cargo4 plane belonging to the China Cargo Airlines.
"On the basis of our
mutual5 friendship, we are willing to help the Iranian people within our reach," Pang said.
More Chinese aid, including lifeboats, life vests and

Continuous rainy days started to hit Iran in late March, where floods invaded at least 25 out of the country's 31 provinces, causing economic losses worth hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars and dozens of casualties.
