Flash Floods Runs Havoc to Iranian Cities

Published April 3rd, 2019 - 06:59 GMT

Devastating floods in Iran have killed a lot and affected hundreds of towns and villages. Iran’s mismanagement of the environment combined with US sanctions, has created a crisis for ordinary Iranians.

Iranian authorities ordered the immediate evacuation of flood-stricken cities in a western province as rivers burst their banks, dams overflowed and vast areas were cut off from communication.

But locals continue to complain of the regime's indifference, refusing to provide aid.
