Sunday June 23, 2002, Changooreh Village, Ghazvin Province, Iran
Surrounded by soldiers and villagers digging graves for victims of that morning's earthquake, a young boy clings on to his dead father's pants as he squats by the freshly dug grave where his father is about to be burried। That morning a 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck the Ghazvin Province of Iran 300 miles from the capital Tehran. Dozens of villages were completely destroyed killing hundreds and devastating the lives of thousands of Iranians. Approximately one hundred villagers died in this one village.
