The Iranian Red Crescent Society [IRCS] dispatched relief aid to people in Yemen through Oman on Sunday, as Saudi Arabia continues to block Iran&rsquos humanitarian aid delivery to the country.

IRCS Secretary General Ali Asghar Ahmadi said on Sunday that another air route has been chosen for the delivery of humanitarian aid due to Saudi Arabia&rsquos blockade.

"Talks have been held with Oman so that the relief cargo dispatched by the Iranian Red Crescent Society would end in the hands of the Yemeni people through this country," Ahmadi said.

He noted that the IRCS aid would be dispatched to Yemen through a charity body in Oman.

Additionally, Ahmadi said that humanitarian aid has been sent to Oman in cooperation with Iran&rsquos Foreign Ministry, expressing hope that the aid would be distributed to the Yemeni people "very soon."

His comments came after Saudi Arabia recently on April 28 forced an Iranian cargo plane carrying medical aid and foodstuff for crisis-hit people in Yemen to return.

The Iranian aircraft, which had earlier received permits from Omani and Yemeni aviation officials to cross into Yemen&rsquos airspace, could not land at the international airport in the Yemeni capital, Sana&rsquoa, as Saudi warplanes were violently striking the runway of the civil airport.

Moreover, the development came less than a week after Saudi fighter jets intercepted an Iranian airplane, carrying humanitarian aid to Yemen, and prevented it from entering the Yemeni airspace on April 22.

The IRCS had obtained the necessary permission to fly in the Oman-Yemen route and send a plane in coordination with the International Committee of the Red Cross [ICRC] in order to fly Yemeni patients back to Iran and distribute medical aid to the injured in the country, according to an Iranian Foreign Ministry official.

Saudi Arabia began its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 - without a UN mandate - in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and to restore power to the country&rsquos fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Riyadh.

According to the World Health Organization [WHO], 1,244 Yemenis lost their lives and 5,044 others were injured from March 19 to April 27. According to the WHO, hundreds of women and children are among the victims.
