Powerful new earthquake hits devastated Nepal Dozens dead as magnitude 7.3 earthquake strikes two weeks after massive quake killed thousands in Himalayan nation. A deadly magnitude 7.3 earthquake has struck Nepal, two weeks after a devastating quake killed more than 8,000 people in the Himalayan nation, the USGS has reported. Officials said at least 36 people had been killed and more than 1,100 injured in the new quake in Nepal, which the USGS initially reported as magnitude 7.1, before later upgrading it to magnitude 7.3. In addition, the national disaster management authority in India said 17 died there. The quake, which struck 18km southeast of Kodari, near the base camp for Mt Everest, was measured at a shallow depth of about 18km. A series of aftershocks - including one 6.3 magnitude tremor - later hit in the same area, the USGS reported. The Nepalese Ministry of Home Affairs reported that at least 36 people were killed in the quake and at least 1,117 were injured. At least 19 buildings have collapsed, officials said, including 10 in Kathmandu. Police issued a public warning, calling for people to stay in open areas and to send text messages instead of making calls, to prevent the network from becoming jammed. 'Utter panic' Al Jazeera's Annette Ekin, reporting from Kathmandu, said that there was "utter panic" in the capital following the quake. "The earth just started rolling. Everyone ran out onto the streets and all of the shops are now shuttered," she said, adding that the quake seemed to last about 30 seconds. A woman who works for a finance company in Thamel, in Kathmandu, told Al Jazeera that she had clung on to a pillar inside her building when the quake struck. "I was screaming. It felt like the house was falling," she said. Al Jazeera's Andrew Simmons, also reporting from Kathmandu, said the quake was so powerful that it made the building he was in "feel like jelly".

Two hours after the quake struck, our correspondent Ekin said that no one in Kathmandu appeared willing to go back indoors. "Everyone is outside in the streets. At my hotel, all of the staff and guests are sitting around outside, waiting for more information," she said. Kathmandu's airport has been closed, following the quake. A 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck on April 25, killing at least 8,046 people and injuring more than 17,800. ![]() http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/05/150512071622053.html Cc. lalasticlala ishilove |

That country should just quit their religion and accept christ as their lord and personal saviour.....enough said!! #modified, to all those that blind quoted me, there is no way you will understand my point if you aint a christian......mind you, majority of nepals population are Buddhists or idol worshippers, I didnt say this to start a jihad, to all my muslim brothers and sisters, i didnt mean it that way, you literally misunderstood my intention, one love! ##Modified# According to the 2011 census, 84.2 percent of Nepalese were Hindu, 10.74 percent Buddhist, 4.20 percent Muslim, 3.60 percent Kirant (an indigenous religion), 0.45 percent Christian, and 0.4 percent were classified as other groups such as Bön religion.......the major places affected by the quake include their religious landmarks, for more info go this website http://www.religionnews.com/2015/04/28/splainer-religious-sites-lost-damaged-nepal-quake/ **so all those that attacked me due to difference in religion I owe you no apology, unless you are hindu. 24 Likes 1 Share

Nepal and its citizens had witnessed two devastating quakes in less than two month, they live in constant fear and panic; they haven't even gotten over the shock of they last one, and they're facing a more powerful one right now. Many of use in Nigeria are in our various offices enjoying afternoon cool breeze in this hot sun. We have to praise and thank God for not putting us in life threatening predicament, even Ebola casualties in our beloved country isn't up to ten while it claimed thousands of life in Liberia, isn't that enough for us to lift up our bible and Quran right now and praise the most high for loving us. I'm very sure we won't have a chance to blame our politicians if we were to be facing a natural disaster. I thank you lord for keeping my country save of any form of disasters, and may the soul of the affected Nepalese rest in peace. Amen! 69 Likes 6 Shares |
