Surrounded by soldiers and villagers digging graves for victims of that morning's earthquake, a young boy clings on to his dead father's pants as he squats by the freshly dug grave where his father is about to be burried. A 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck the Ghazvin Province of Iran that morning killing more than 500 villagers in some 12 villages.
