Unbelievable devastating 7.9 rector scale earthquake hit in Nepal on 25
April 2015 and destroyed of property and loss of human
lives, infrastructures, cultural and religion heritages within a minute.
The death toll has reached 5,026. Over 10,227 people have been reported
injured. Rescue efforts are under way. Most of the people of affected areas
are staying outside of home because of fear.  People from the worst hit
districts of Sindhupalchok, Nuwakot, Rasuwa, Gorkha and Dhading which are
surrounding districts of capital Kathmandu, have complained of delayed aid.

With the leadership of Nepal Army, many Disaster Response Teams from the
different countries, are conducting search and rescue in the most affected
districts, hardly around 1,000 injured have been airlifted to hospital so
far.Updated fact sheet on 27 April 2o15 attached, but it is difficult to
keep up with developments, especially regarding news from very hard hit
rural and inaccessible areas.
