Iran: damages

Monday, a moderate earthquake with a magnitude of 5.9 on the Richter scale has jolted Qom province in Iran.
The tremor was felt in the cities of Tehran, Karaj, Qom, Garmsar, Varamin and Kashan.
The epicenter of the eartquake has been located near Kahak, a small town near the city of Qom.
There were no reports of of casualties or severe damages.


An official of the Iranian Health Ministry said that 350,000 people were in danger of parasitic and intestinal epidemics in the area which was affected by the Cyclone Gonu.
Due to the lack of access to clean water and the still blocked roads, there is a great risk of outbreak of diseases.
There also is a shortage of helicopters and other aerial aid, meaning most of the emergency goods were being transported to the area on heavy vehicles.
People in the provinces Sistan-e-Baluchestan, Hormozgan and Kerman are specifically in danger of contracting malaria because of standing water that remains in areas throughout the region.

The unconfirmed reports say Ayatollah Boroujerdi was found guilty of at least
30 charges, including "waging war against god" (Mohareb); acts against national security; publicly calling political leadership by the clergy (Velayat-e Faqih) unlawful;
