"Aid" is an ambiguous word

Iranian relief workers prepare to embark.

Iran says that they are sending a pair of "aid" ships to Gaza. According to Iranian Red Crescent director Abdolrauf Adibzadeh,
One ship will carry donations made by the people and the other will carry relief workers.
No doubt the former will be in the form of worn bank notes in small denominations and the latter will be made up mainly of fit young men between the ages of 18 and 25.
