Eastern Kurdistan Human Rights Organization stated that people of Serpêl Zehaw town who were heavily affected by the earthquake of 12 November in Rojhilat (Eastern) Kurdistan, have been settled in a mined terrain. Tens for these earthquake victims have been set up in an area with mines planted during the Iran-Iraq war.

Despite the Iranian government arguing that mines in the area have been cleared, mines are exploding and harming civilians in the region almost every day. Children playing in this area are reportedly coming across anti-tank mines.

Iranian government setting up tents for earthquake victims in a mined terrain has caused reactions and people seek to move to another location to stay.

The 7.3 magnitude earthquake of 12 November night in Rojhilat Kurdistan claimed the lives of at least 600 people and left thousands of others injured, while most of the houses in Kirmanshan region were demolished.
