Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed Sayyed Imam Ali Khamenei urges doubling efforts on quake aids

‘I’m not content with this level [of aid],’ Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed Sayyed Imam Ali Khamenei said, addressing a gathering in the quake-stricken city of Sarpol-e Zahab in western Iran.

Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed Sayyed Imam Ali Khamenei, who paid an unexpected visit to the disaster areas in the Province of Kermanshah early on Monday, also sympathized with all the people in cities and villages affected by the massive earthquake on November 13 and all those who lost their loved ones in the quake.

‘I share the grief of every single heart here. I wish we could visit you at a better time,’ Supreme Leader said.

Referring to the resistance by the brave people in Kermanshah Province and all the sacrifices they made during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran, the Supreme Leader said that ‘Great humans resist and stand against incidents.’

‘You showed your courage and endurance during the imposed war. You show that courage today, too,’ Supreme Leader said.

Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed Sayyed Imam Ali Khamenei also personally visited people accommodated in tents and checked the their conditions.

A 7.3-magnitude earthquake shook the western province of Kermanshah and the regions bordering Iraq last week killing at least 437 people and injuring over ten thousands others.
