Countless missing – Dozens dead in severe storms in Iran

Date:

At least 56 people have died in severe storms in Iran. A spokesman for the Red Crescent announced this on Saturday. Dozens of people are still missing in the capital Tehran and four other provinces, according to a spokesman for the news portal Entekhab. Authorities fear more deaths.

Police blocked several country roads as the storms also led to landslides in some provinces. Because storms are also expected across the country on Saturday, local authorities fear more deaths.

Severe weather warning in many parts of the country
Severe weather warnings have been issued in many parts of the country since Thursday. In addition to the Red Crescent rescue workers, volunteers also assisted in rescue operations because of the severe flooding.

Government promises to help those affected
Hundreds of families have been made homeless in the past 48 hours. The government under President Ebrahim Raisi promised financial aid to those affected. More than 20 people were killed in storms in southern Iran last week.
