For the first time, New Year gifts will be given by the State Welfare Organization to families with twins or multiple births, said Anoushiravan Mohseni Bandpei, head of the SWO.
“So far, the SWO database has registered information about 10,000 twins and an amount equivalent to $30 will be sent directly to their bank accounts,” IRNA quoted him as saying.
On average, each day 16 pairs of twins are born across the country. The birth rate of twins in the country is 3% higher than the global average.
The SWO is responsible to assist families with twins or multiples if their financial condition is not favorable.
