A Polish crowd-funding initiative has raised nearly 250,000 zlotys to buy a new lorry for an Iranian driver, who was stranded when his vehicle broke down.
Based in Khoy in north-western Iran, Mr Kareem has been driving to Europe for more than a quarter of a century. The initial target of 100,000 zlotys was reached within 24 hours and the total now stands at more than double that, with donations still coming in.It has proved uneconomic to repair the lorry, so the plan is now to buy a new one.
However, the plan may yet fall foul of Iranian sanctions against certain imports from EU countries. An exemption is now being sought for the replacement vehicle.
