A gesture by a flower boy to the Red Crescent staff in Iran
Marking 104 years since the founding of the Iranian Red Crescent organization, a touching case was reported that gained widespread resonance on social media in the country. According to the Red Crescent, a government body that promotes the organization's activities and the welfare of its volunteers, search and rescue teams have stood firm in the service of the Iranian public for over a century.
Amidst the day's events, the deputy head of the organization's operations department shared a story about a flower-selling boy, who chose to give the staff members "all his possessions" – the money and merchandise that served him for his daily livelihood. The incident was noted as a symbol of giving and sacrifice by the public toward rescue workers.
The story also gained exposure on the news channel Akharin Khabar, which is identified with general news reports in Iran. The channel emphasized the power of the boy's gesture, while quoting the words of the deputy head of the Red Crescent, who described the case as testimony to the "generosity" of the young man even under challenging economic conditions.
These reports come against the backdrop of the organization's anniversary, as Red Crescent officials take the opportunity to glorify their image as a humanitarian organization that serves as a pillar in Iranian society.
