UN emergency teams on ground in earthquake-stricken Iranian region

23 February 2005 – Emergency United Nations teams are in southwest Iran discussing with the country's authorities the need for international assistance after an earthquake measuring 6.4 on the Richter killed 430 people and injured 900 others yesterday.

"Our priority at this stage is to find out what the needs are on the ground, particularly regarding women and children," said UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) country representative Kari Egge, who was travelling in the area at the time and went immediately to the site, where she saw a whole village completely wiped out.

"Here in the village of Dohan all the houses have been completely destroyed. It is cold and rainy so supplies such as shelter, food, water and blankets are essential," she added.

A World Health Organization (WHO) field team is also in Zarand, the main town in the area, while technical staff are providing support for disease surveillance teams.

In my mind, that's not a peacekeeping mission, but who am I to say?

Peacekeeping units, AFAIK, are armed combat units that actually deter acts of war.
