Three days after the fierce earthquake hit the Iran-Iraq border, a child was rescued alive from the rubble. The child was recovered from the debris of Sarpol-e-Jahab city on Wednesday. Local media confirmed this information.
According to British online Independent, the picture of the child has already spread widely among Iranian people in the name of social media. As seen in the picture, the child looked smiling. Many people called the baby rescue case 'miraculous'. This incident is being claimed that the role of earthquake affected people is also playing a role in raising the morale of the people.
A strong earthquake hit Sunday night in the northern border of Iraq and Iran. The magnitude of the earthquake was 7.3 on the Richter scale. At least 530 people have been killed in the earthquake until the latest news has been reported. More than seven thousand people were injured. A aid agency claimed that about 70,000 people were homeless due to the earthquake.
The earthquake was felt in several Iranian provinces. The number of people killed in Iran's western Karman Shah province is highest. Sarpol-e-Zahab, 15 kilometers away from the Iraqi border, is the worst hit. Rescue operations are hampering due to landslide, said government officials concerned.
Kurdish capital Sarpol-e-Zahab is still in full swing. In the earthquake, the big apartment buildings broke down. It was possible to save very few people alive from the debris. In such condition, the child was recovered yesterday. Rescue and rescue agencies say that the city lacks blankets, children's clothes, medicine and drinking water.
At the same time, the weightlifter Kaynosh Rostami, who won the country's Olympic gold medal for the help of Iran's Karman Shah province, took his medal auction. He won gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. On Wednesday, in a post given in Instagram, he decided to take the medal auction, saying, "I am the son of Karman Shah province. I give back my medal to the people there. I will take the auction of the medal. '
Since Sunday's earthquake, the people of the affected areas are in danger of being overwhelmed by strong influence. Since that earthquake, there have been a total of 400 such defeats. This is the strongest earthquake that hit Iran since 2012. Iran has 16 earthquakes and 19 earthquakes this year.
