  • 7 months ago
At least 157 people died and more than 100 were injured when a 5.6-magnitude earthquake struck a remote pocket in west Nepal on the evening of 3 November. Villagers say they were up all night digging through the rubble of their destroyed houses in search for survivors. “My brother and I were buried [under the rubble] and I lost my consciousness. My brother was screaming for help.,” says Kamal Oli. Nepal lies on a major geological faultline, making it more prone to earthquakes.
