Several dead in south Iran quake
By Marc • Nov 27th, 2005 • Category: In Other News...., Prayer for the DeadA powerful earthquake has hit southern Iran, killing at least 10 people, injuring dozens more and damaging several villages, officials say.
The 6.1-magnitude quake struck Qeshm island, home to 120,000 people, and the city of Bandar Abbas, state media said.
Every time I see new story on this incident, the death rate is higher. On this our Lord’s Day, please keep the victims (both living and dead) of this quake in your prayers.
Eternal rest grant unto them oh Lord. And may perpetual light shine on them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
