Thailand donates relief supplies worth 100,000 USD to floods-hit Iran

BANGKOK, May 1 (Xinhua) -- Thailand's Foreign Ministry said in a statement released on Wednesday that the Kingdom has donated humanitarian contribution in the amount of 100,000 U.S. dollars to Iran, which was hit by floods in late March.

Damrong Kraikruan, Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs, handed over the aid to Iranian ambassador Mohsen Mohammadi, the statement said.

The donation is in response to the severe flash floods in the southern part of Iran in late March, which caused a large number of casualties and extensive damage to properties and infrastructure in the area.
