In a message on Wednesday morning, the Iranian president congratulated the heads of state and people of the countries that celebrate Nowruz, which marks the beginning of the Persian New Year, as a civilizational tradition.
The message of Nowruz is peace and peaceful coexistence and it symbolizes connection and rapprochement, Raisi said.
He noted that the Nowruz-celebrating nations are commemorating the beginning of spring while the oppressed, yet strong, people of Gaza are suffering from the Zionist regime’s brutal military strikes, have been deprived of sustenance and health facilities, and are exposed to starvation and famine.
“This is our humanitarian duty to employ our capabilities to take serious practical steps to stop the Zionist regime’s attacks and deliver humanitarian aid to the oppressed people of Gaza,” the Iranian president underlined.
At least 31,819 Palestinians have been killed and 73,934 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7.
