Reminder:
After a January 28 earthquake in the city of Khoy, NW Iran, locals remain without any decent aid from Iran's Red Crescent.

#Iran's propaganda machine at work
They're sending assistance to quake hit areas in Syria

Note:
The city of Khoy in NW Iran was hit with a quake on Jan 28. Locals haven't received any meaningful aid from the government. However, Tehran believes helping Syria is more important.

#Iran is quick in sending humanitarian aid to Damascus after the recent earthquakes that have devastated #Turkey and #Syria.

However, people in the Iranian city of Khoy—hit by a 5.9 magnitude quake on Jan 28—remain without any meaningful aid from their government.
