In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
The damaging and painful floods in Golestan and Mazandaran provinces, which led to the damage and destruction of a large number of residences, infrastructure and fields, has created great anguish.
It’s necessary for all authorities and relief agencies to act in a determined manner as soon as possible in order to eliminate suffering and compensate for the damage and not deprive anymore of service.
All of the people of the nation are also invited to coordinate with the relief agencies to assist the dear victims of the floods.
The Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom, along with expressing sympathy with the dear victims of the floods and wishing for divine mercy and divine blessings for the victims of this great flood, call on all officials, directors and politicians to devote themselves to the mobilization of forces and facilities with a national and universal perspective irrespective of provincial capabilities and facilities and reduce the suffering of their flood victims and compatriots.
