'The quake-stricken people reserve the natural right to have a share in addressing their need, temporary accommodation and contribution to reconstruction of their houses. And nowhere in Iran can you find not to share sympathy with Kermanshah citizens (over quake incident),' said President Rouhani in a speech addressed to Kermanshah Crisis Management Headquarters.
He said swift aid shipment to the quake-stricken people will be high on agenda of government's Wednesday session.
President Rouhani added that the government will do its best to afford assistance to the quake-hit citizens in terms of medication, housing, security and supply of essential needs. 'We will try to make up for damage caused by the disaster in the shortest possible time.'
