Iranians voice fears as the country's death toll exceed 2,000

The Iranian Ministry of Health now publicly is rejecting outside help, claiming the country does not need more medical resources.

The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders tried sending a 50-bed inflatable treatment unit to Tehran to assist with the virus. Iran revoked its resources, saying it did not need any more help with severe cases.

Michel Olivier Lacharité, manager of the group's emergency programs, is based in Paris.

"We are deeply surprised to learn that the approval for the deployment of our treatment unit has been revoked," he said. "The need for this intervention, and the authorizations needed to start it, were discussed and agreed with relevant Iranian authorities during the past weeks. Our teams were ready to start medical activities at the end of this week.”

“We know that the Iranian government didn’t accept the United States' help. The government doesn’t publish any right news about that … we are left in the dark a lot. For the coronavirus tests, the government said that they would give it to us for free and test us inside our homes. That was not true. My sister had a coronavirus. If you want to test your health, it is $50. It is too much for people.”

They added, “The city is silent. We have not seen our families in a long time. People here are not very careful about themselves. We did not even know about this virus until it got bad. That might be one of the reasons Iran is among the top suffering countries.”

Iran’s health ministry reported that one person dies from coronavirus every 10 minutes and 50 are becoming infected every hour. Iran’s Ministry of Health spokesman Kianush Jahanpur told state TV that Iran now has 29,406 total cases of coronavirus and 2,234 total deaths.
