Earthquake in Northwest of Iran 1990

On 21st of June,1990,an earthquake occurred in Manjil-Rudbar,northwest of Iran,also known as the windy city of Iran.

It caused damages in areas that was within 100 kilometers radius of the epicenter near the City of Rasht,the capital of Gilan province in northwest of Iran.

The magnitude of the earthquake was 7.7 magnitude.

The earthquake killed 40,000 people,60,000 injured and 105,000 families homeless.

The government accepted all offers of aid,except from that of Israel and South Africa.But the government was criticized because of the foreign rescuer.

I think that they should made the buildings more stable than those that collapsed in the earthquake as the majority of the buildings are not very stable and did not allow people to escape and just collapsed like a pile of cards.I also feel that the people should be educate on how to escape during an earthquake.
