Aljazeera: Iran vows new homes for shaken quake victims

SHAFAQNA (Shia International News Association) — Iran has announced plans to build 20,000 houses for people left homeless by Saturday's twin earthquakes in the country's rural northwest.

Tehran said it is aiming to complete the construction in two and a half months.

The campaign will mean moving thousands of people from their ancestral land.
