In a message on Monday, November 13, Mogherini extended condolences to the people
and governments of Iran and Iraq over the earthquake, offering the EU’s
“support in anyway considered useful”.
At least 348 people have been killed and 6,000 injured in the quake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale.
Iranians, fighting time, hurried early Monday to dig out survivors trapped in dozens of collapsed buildings in the quake, whose epicenter was near Halabjah, southeast of Iraq’s Sulaymaniyah.
Hospitals in the western cities of Eslamabad-e-Gharb, Sarpol-e-Zahab, and Qasre-e-Shirin are packed with the injured people as the death toll is expected to rise.
