WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- The percentage of people "suffering" in Iran as measured by a Gallup index has nearly doubled since 2008 to more than one in four people, the organization said.
Gallup said Thursday 26 percent of people in Iran are "suffering," up from 14 percent in 2008 on a well-being scale.
That puts the Islamic Republic on par with 2011 rates for Greece, at 25 percent, and 2010 rates for Haiti, at 27 percent, the Central Africa Republic, 26 percent, and Cambodia, 23 percent.
