A group of Iranian artists who visited the city of Bam describe the situation of the people in the earthquake-stricken area as dire. Reza Kianian, a cinema actor, states: "The level of assistance to the earthquake victims, according to the people, was very terrifying. Some of them said that despite the passage of 9 days since the earthquake, they still do not have tents. Although so much aid has arrived, the rule is that this aid should be managed to reach the affected people. During the visit to the area, the question was why this aid had not reached the people." He continues, "I did not see the human aspect of the earthquake. I did not see living people. I did not see survivors. I did not see the tents for accommodation." Azita Hajian, an actress, also says: "We did not see a concentration of rescue workers and vehicles in this devastated city during our visit. So let the people come and help. The people of Bam need assistance, and it is the government's duty. They should allow people to come and sympathize with the earthquake victims of Bam. The people of Bam can no longer bear the psychological consequences of this disaster. They are still in shock. It is not far off the days when the depth of the disaster will reveal itself to them in all its dimensions." Ali Nasirian, a talented actor in cinema and theater, also emphasizes in an interview with the newspaper Shargh: "I witnessed and heard the complaints of the disaster-stricken people. Everyone was complaining. They must be taken care of."
