More than 200 bodies were taken to the city morgue. As reported by The Telegraph, representatives of the organization "Red Cross" reported that the number of deaths is growing, but the exact number of dead is still unknown.

The Organization also suggests that the number of victims will grow, as many people could sleep during the landslide that occurred on Monday early in the morning.



Local authorities also note that about two thousand people became homeless after torrential rains flooded their homes. Many of the poor areas are located close to the sea and have poor drainage systems, exacerbating floods during the rainy season in the country, - explained the representative of the authorities.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, in the north-east of Iran due to heavy downpours began flooding, as a result of which a minimum of nine people died.
