[1]Twin earthquakes that devastated rural villages in northwest Iran at the weekend killed a total of 306 people -- most of them women and children -- and injured 3,037, Health minister Marzieh Vahid Dastjerdi said on Monday.
The toll, presented in a report to lawmakers and published on the parliament's website, was a big jump over a previous one given on Sunday by Interior minister Moustafa Mohammad-Najjar, who spoke of 227 dead and 1,380 injured.
