regarding the possibility of an earthquake is \u201cirresistibility\u201d of the hospitals in the country, particularly in Tehran.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the life of half of the hospitals in Tehran which were built more than half a century ago, Hashemi added that while in the recent earthquake of the city the first need of the people was to go to the hospitals, &#8220;some parts of the hospitals are among the most insecure and vulnerable buildings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, he has reported on shortage of funds, manpower and medical equipment in hospital emergencies in Tehran.<\/p>\n<p>The regime&#8217;s official said the number of emergency bases in Tehran was far &#8220;distant&#8221; from international standards.<\/p>\n<p>His comments are said while on Wednesday morning Tehran and Alborz provinces were once again trembling with a 4.2 magnitude earthquake.<\/p>\n<p>The earthquake, which left at least 46 injured, occurred within a week after the 5.2 magnitude earthquake in these two provinces killing two and wounding more than one hundred people.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of recent earthquakes in Iran and Tehran, once again the resistance of buildings and urban infrastructure during the earthquake has been at the forefront of attention.<\/p>\n<p>Tehran\u2019s Technical and Development Deputy Mayor in the City Council on December 26, concurrent with the anniversary of the devastating earthquake in Kerman, reported on the state of the city&#8217;s unfinished projects and called them &#8220;urban hazards&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Pirouz Hanachi called the probability of an earthquake in Tehran &#8220;very high&#8221; and admitted that, despite more than two decades of information on the Tehran earthquake, gas stations and hospitals have not yet been retrofitted to make them resistive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
