The floods caused by unprecedented flash rains in various parts of Iran in March and early April claimed the lives of scores of people and inflicted huge damages on infrastructures, including bridges and roads.
Two million people were affected by the floods and hundreds of thousand people are living in tents.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in a message appreciated the staff of the Iranian Red Crescent Society for their efforts, especially during the recent floods in Iran.
