Iranian women donate their gold jewelry in solidarity with Gaza and Lebanon

Iranian women formed long queues in Esfahan to donate their gold jewelry to aid displaced civilians in Gaza and Lebanon amid the ongoing Israeli military offensive.

Iranian news agency IRNA shared a video on X, stating, “This is not a line for buying iPhones or receiving food from a charity,” highlighting that the women were lining up to give away their jewelry in support of their Muslim brethren.

Videos on social media showed hundreds of women waiting in line to offer their valuables at various charity stalls set up in an enclosed area.

CNN reported that a fundraiser called “Golden Empathy” was organized at Fatimiyah Mosque, where women and children, some holding Palestinian flags, donated in support of Lebanon and Palestine.

“This is our duty in such a critical time, a fight of truth versus falsehood,” one woman attending the event told CNN.

Boxes were filled with jewelry donations, and women signed records of their contributions for the cause
