Iran quakes killed 306, injured 3,037: Health minister

Tehran: Twin earthquakes that devastated rural villages in northwest Iran at the weekend killed a total of 306 people -- most of them women and children -- and injured 3,037, Health Minister Marzieh Vahid Dastjerdi said on Monday.

The toll, presented in a report to lawmakers and published on the parliament's website, was a big jump over a previous one given on Sunday by Interior Minister Moustafa Mohammad-Najjar, who spoke of 227 dead and 1,380 injured.
