Vahid Dastjerdi said that, of the 306 deaths, hospital morgues counted 219 women and children and 49 men. The discrepancy with the total appeared to come from the fact that some of those killed were buried by their families before officials arrived at the scene.
She also said that, of the 3,037 injured, most -- 2,011 -- were given first aid at the scene, while the remainders were taken to hospitals for treatment. Some 700 surgeries were performed, she said.
Two earthquakes measuring 6.4 and 6.3 on the moment magnitude scale rumbled through Tabriz, Ahar, Ardabil and Urmiya cities of the province. The epicenter was in Varzigan. Most devastations and casualties were recorded in Ahar, Varzigan and Heris.
