ILNA: Some 15 million of Iranian population live below the poverty line, Iranian MP Mousarreza Servati said.
"The figure includes about 20 percent of Iranians which is considerable," he added.
"The Iranian officials should pay attention on the issue," Servati said. "The statistics is not seemly for Iran."

"Some 7 million of the people living below the poverty line are not supported by Iranian official entities," he added.

"Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation covers only six million people of them," he said. "About two million of the Iranian people are also supported by State Welfare Organization."
