Just recently, Nepal had experienced a terrible 7.8 magnitude earthquake killing about five thousand people and injuring ten thousand. There is a lot of issues with bring aid to remote Himalayan areas but they are doing the best they can. The government is overwhelmed but try their best as well to save those affected by this terrible catastrophe. The UN states that about eight million people, more than a quarter of the population, have been affected by the earthquake. Rescue teams are currently helping those in mountainous areas which experienced the aftershock and landslips caused by the quake. Many of the residents want to leave, afraid if another quake will occur or just the fact that their home was destroyed that they wish to move on. With the terrible effects of the earthquake, Nepal has declared to mourn three days for the victims. Unfortunately Nepal has experienced a terrible catastrophe that has affected everyone in that area. With the help and aid of many supporters we hope that Nepal will be able to overcome from this incident.
