Hamzeh (Persian: حمزه)[a] is a city in Sardasht District of Dezful County, Khuzestan province, Iran.
History
[edit]In 1980, with the beginning of the war between Iran and Iraq, some border residents from localities such as Rafi, Bostan, Hoveyzeh, Abadan and Khorramshahr were transferred to safe areas such as the village of Shahrak-e Hamzeh (now the city of Hamzeh).[4] The city is 26 km from the city of Dezful. Its primary inhabitants were 100 percent Arab, but after some time, some Dezful residents have been living in areas of the city to escape Iraqi missile and air strikes.[citation needed]
