SUGGESTED LEAD-IN:
Survivors of last Friday's powerful earthquake in the ancient Iranian city of Bam have been talking about the devastation and their losses.
One woman, who was rescued from underneath her destroyed home, lost four of her children.
According to the head of the UN's relief operation, the death toll from the 6.6-magnitude earthquake has now risen to 28-thousand.
VOICE-OVER:
0003 Zeinad Godarzi and who's left of her family walk through the ruins of their devastated home in the Iranian city of Bam.
0010 Four of her six children died the earthquake, along with other members of her family.

0017 "It was five o'clock in the morning when I realised that the world had changed," she says. "Only my head was above the rubble. Four of my children died and two of them lived. I also lost my daughter-in-law and my grandson."
0029 Her possessions lie in pieces amongst the rubble of her home.
0033 And as she walks through the devastation of the earthquake, she tells how her life too has been shattered.

0042 "This is where they found my child," she weeps.
0047 With at least 28-thousand bodies now recovered from the ruins of Bam, Zeinad's tragic story is far from unique.
0054 Most of the houses surrounding her flattened home are now also just piles of rubble and many of her neighbours are dead.

0104 "Ten people died in this house," she says. "The family's wife, daughter, son - they all died."
0109 Zeinad and her surviving family are now living in a tent next to their devastated home.
0014 She says she'll stay in Bam simply because she has nowhere else to go.
