Just when Nepal finally started recovering from the devastating earthquake that hit a few weeks ago, they were hit again today with one that registered over 7.8. This new earthquake killed dozens of people Tuesday and spread more fear across the already stressed Nepal. The country is still struggling from the last earthquake which killed over 8,000 people. The earthquake hit midway between Kathmandu and Mount Everest, it struck the hardest in the foothills of the Himalayas, triggering landslides (see the video below). The earthquake was so strong that tremors were felt across neighboring India and Tibet.
Our thoughts are with all the people of Nepal, who have had to deal with some insurmountable hardships the last few weeks. If you would like to help out and do something for the country you can look into reputable charities like The Red Cross or Doctor’s Without Borders, who are currently in Nepal helping the country recover.
