Quake victims stuck in tents as winter chills Iranian Kurdistan
A winter cold snap has exasperated conditions for the earthquake-affected people of Kermanshah.
As winter weather conditions arrive, the situation has worsened for the affected people in the town of Sarpol-e Zahab, Kermanshah in East or Iranian Kurdistan living beside the rubble of their homes after the province was hit by last month's quake.
The border area is mountainous and temperatures have recently dropped and brought snow.
According to the latest figures, the death toll in last month's earthquake has risen to 579 after more victims continue to be identified.
The 7.3 magnitude earthquake that struck the evening of November 12 is the deadliest in the world in 2017.
Poor quality construction of low-income housing is being blamed for the high death toll of the mostly Kurdish population who has accused Iranian government authorities of failing to provide timely assistance.
