TEHRAN, July 13: One person died and 6,000 families were made homeless in southern Iranian Fars province after several earthquakes, the news service Mehr quoted local officials as saying Sunday.

The towns and nearby villages of Jahrom and Zarin-Dasht were hit last Thursday by two quakes measuring 5.6 and 5.8 degrees on the Richer scale and shaken again in the last 48 hours by 15 aftershocks.—dpa
