TEHRAN: Necessary coordination has been made with relevant sides at the United Nations for harboring an Iranian aid ship in Yemen, Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab-African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on Thursday.

Iran has already began airlifting medical and food aid to Yemen through Oman and Djibouti, Iranian News Agency ( IRNA) quoted him as saying.

The Nejat (Rescue) cargo ship, containing 2,500 tons of much-needed aid, including food, medical supplies and tents, left the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas for Yemen on Monday.
