We are witnessing crowding at the border terminals/ trying to evacuate the border terminals

According to Fars news agency, Nader Omidzadeh, the governor of Khorramshahr, in an interview with Arbain Radio today, 18 September, stated that due to the lack of necessary infrastructure on the Iraqi side, we are witnessing a large number of pilgrims at the border terminals. This is to depopulate border terminals and, if possible, transfer them to Iraq or postpone this trip to another time.

He stated that the facilities are ready on our side, but the possibility of moving pilgrims at the border terminals on the Iraqi side is not suitable and sufficient, and this issue has caused crowding. It has not considered border terminals for transporting pilgrims.

The governor of Khorramshahr also said: The lack of necessary facilities in the field of transportation and the hot weather have caused problems for pilgrims.
