Stand by Iran
The colossal damage by earthquake in Iran has generated a sense of strong sympathy all over the world. We, in Bangladesh, must stand by our brothers in Iran in these days of distress with all possible assistance and resources. Iran, the ancient land of civilisation, is being visited by such horrible disasters repeatedly and the growth that the country achieved during the last few years is being neutralised unfortunately.
Our government may consider sending teams of doctors and nurses to serve the injured people in the devastated city of Bam. At the same time, the government may take the initiative to invite the resourceful people and philanthropic associations to come forward with their generous support in cash or kind for the people in distress.
A team of engineers may also be sent to conduct rescue operations and help reconstruction of the city.
