A lady on the street in Kathmandu is crying for help to rescue her loved ones as crushing buildings hit by earthquake. Some have since been found safe and well, but an unknown number remain unaccounted for. A powerful earthquake struck Nepal less than 50 miles from the capital, causing thousands of deaths. Avalanches were reported on Mount Everest. More than 8,000 are feared to be dead. With widespread destruction and power outages across the region, many remain displaced or missing. Another strong earthquake hit in Nepal killing over 57 people and injured over 1000, causing widespread panic and casualties just over two weeks after a devastating tremor killed more than 8,000 people, injured 18,000 and destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes. At least four people were killed in the town of Chautara in Sindhupalchok district, north of Kathmandu, after several buildings collapsed and more than a dozen were injured in landslides. Sindhupalchok suffered the heaviest death toll in last month’s quake.
