A week after the devastating earthquakes in Iran’s northwestern provinces, the people of those regions are worried over lack of shelter, food and threats of the spread of epidemic diseases. In the meantime, the mullahs’ Majlis (parliament) speaker delivered a secret report to the members in order to cover up the vast amount of destruction and the actual number of casualties.

“The important issue that we are now facing is livestock in the villages that remain under the rubble, dead or alive, and a humanitarian catastrophe will take place if urgent action is not taken,” Majlis member Dolatgari said.
“There is no trace of the dispatched physicians and psychologists which the Madame Minister had promised,” said Dehghani, Majlis member from the earthquake hit city of Varzaghan. “The trend of treating people is proceeding with much difficulty and the injured are facing serious problems in this regard.”
Furthermore, state-run media reported the people of Tabriz spent Tuesday night in parks in fear of the aftershock that struck the area that evening. They were not willing to return to their homes.
“To this moment 720 aftershocks have shaken East Azerbaijan Province, 257 of which were above 2.5 Richter and 27 above 4 Richter,” said the Iranian regime's Crisis Management chief.
