As earlier reported, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal and now it has been reported that over a thousand people have been confirmed dead. Keep checking in with IFWT.com to stay updated with this tragedy.
The streets are ruined, families are broken, and more people are confirmed gone. About 1,457 people have been found and the rescue teams are still out searching. Unfortunately, Nepal is not well equipped with a searching squad, so it will take longer than expected to search throughout the entire area for injured people. An total count of casualties are still not available, as there are still more people being found.
About 4.6 million people were exposed to this catastrophe, leaving a bit of chaos in the region. About 30 of the 75 districts were affected by the quake. That means about 40 percent of the country have been effected by this earthquake. The quake have been felt as far as to New Delhi. Two consecutive earthquakes happened earlier today in Nepal, about 35 minutes away from each other.
Although this region is familiar with earthquakes, no one can get used to these type of incidents. People first believed it was just a tremor, but once they realized it wasn’t anything regular, no one knew how to react.
