2,000 houses built by Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation were inaugurated on Sunday in earthquake-stricken areas of the western province of Kermanshah with the Foundation’s head, Parviz Fattah, in attendance.

A powerful earthquake of magnitude 7.3 quake rattled parts of the western province of Kermanshah last November, killing at least 620 people and injuring thousands and leaving many displaced.

According to Ebrahim Bazian, deputy director for housing department of the Foundation, the earthquake caused minor to severe damages to 10,000 housing units of the families under the Foundation’s coverage.
