On Sunday evening a 7.3 Richter quake hit the Iran-Iraq border. Iran\u2019s official IRNA news agency reports that at a minimum, 530 people were killed and more than 8,000 injured. Tens of thousands of homes and apartments were leveled.<\/p>\n<p>However, casualty statistics may be well beyond those reported by the media, according to Farhad Tajari, a member of Iran\u2019s parliament from Ghasr Shireen, a town in western Iran that suffered enormous damage.<\/p>\n<p>Iran lies on several tectonic plates, and after an earthquake, the Iranian people suffer extreme conditions. In fact, 152 aftershocks continued to cause serious damage during the first 24 hours after the initial quake. 526 villages and 137,000 people in Iran\u2019s Kermanshah province are facing grave danger.<\/p>\n<p>Sarpol Zahab is the most devastated town. It is located close to the Iraqi border. Authorities report that the quake has destroyed many buildings in this poverty stricken town.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Earthquake-3\" class=\" size-full wp-image-50150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/11\/Earthquake-3.jpg\" alt=\"Earthquake-3\" width=\"1194\" height=\"729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Earthquake-3.jpg 1194w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Earthquake-3-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Earthquake-3-1024x625.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Earthquake-3-768x469.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Earthquake-3-696x425.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Earthquake-3-1068x652.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1194px) 100vw, 1194px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a050% of the province\u2019s schools have suffered serious damage according to reports, said the Head of the state Public Relations Office in Kermanshah.<br \/>\u201cMy entire family of 20 people, including 15 kids, are all sitting in our cars,\u201d Nosser in Sarpol Zahab told ILNA. \u201cOur fuel is very low.
