Iran-Iraq earthquake: hundreds killed as border region hit
A 7.3 magnitude earthquake has killed at least 396 people and has injured at least thousands more. This has been declared the deadliest earthquake this year. Most of those who died were in Iran's western Kermanshah province where a search of survivors had started.
Unfortunately as well, the town's main hospital was severely damaged as well, leaving it struggling to treat hundreds of the injured. Rescue teams hindered by landslides, making it harder to rescue persons or to search for any survivors.
As this has recently happened there are unfortunately not a lot of updates on the tragedy.
Hopefully, other countries will support Iran-Iraq, instead of leaving them in their current state or destroying them even more while they are down. But seeing as Iraq-Iran is known to be prone to earthquakes, they should put reinforcements in place so as to ensure when events like this take place that there will be less damage and consequences.
This a god news post as you talked about an issue that maybe hasn't been as big ads it should have been t=in the media. Although you have included content and context, you could have added a bit more detail.
