If the death toll does reach 10,000, that would be even higher than the 8,500 killed in a massive 1934 quake, the Himalayan nation’s worst disaster to date.<br /><br />Koirala was abroad when the 7.9 magnitude quake struck on Saturday. He returned on Sunday. He has issued orders to his government to improve coordination of the relief effort and will address the nation later on Tuesday, an aide said.<br /><br />Appealing for foreign assistance, Koirala said Nepal needed tents and medicines. Many people are sleeping out of doors because their homes have been destroyed or may not withstand the dozens of aftershocks that have hit the country, he said.<br /><br />“The government needs tents, much medicine. People are sleeping in fields and rains,” he said. “There are more than 7,000 people injured. Their treatment and rehabilitation is going to be a big challenge.”<br />(REUTERS)<br />28/4/15Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877698188774561460.post-88311912036130890462015-04-27T22:56:52.464+03:002015-04-27T22:56:52.464+03:00M 4.7 - NEPAL - 2015-04-27 18:59:58 UTC...local ti...M 4.7 - NEPAL - 2015-04-27 18:59:58 UTC...local time: 00:59...<br /><br />Magnitude M 4.7<br />Region NEPAL<br />Date time 2015-04-27 18:59:58.6 UTC<br />Location 28.06 N ; 84.91 E<br />Depth 33 km<br />Distances <br />57 km NW of Kathmandu, Nepal / pop: 1,442,271 / local time: 00:44:58.6 2015-04-28<br />471 km W of Thimphu, Bhutan / pop: 98,676 / local time: 00:59:58.6 2015-04-28<br />732 km NW of Dhaka, Bangladesh / pop: 10,356,500 / local time: 00:59:58.6 2015-04-28 <br /> emsc-csem.org<br />27-28/4/15Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877698188774561460.post-89417127294831976962015-04-27T18:38:17.755+03:002015-04-27T18:38:17.755+03:00M 5.2 - INDIA-BANGLADESH BORDER REGION - 2015-04-2...M 5.2 - INDIA-BANGLADESH BORDER REGION - 2015-04-27 12:35:51 UTC....local time: 18:05....<br /><br />Magnitude mb 5.2<br />Region INDIA-BANGLADESH BORDER REGION<br />Date time 2015-04-27 12:35:51.5 UTC<br />Location 26.97 N ; 88.19 E<br />Depth 10 km<br />Distances 154 km W of Thimphu, Bhutan / pop: 98,676 / local time: 18:35:51.5 2015-04-27<br />58 km SW of Gangtok, India / pop: 30,700 / local time: 18:05:51.5 2015-04-27<br />8 km N of Mirik, India / pop: 10,109 / local time: 18:05:51.5 2015-04-27 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877698188774561460.post-3565779600743303782015-04-27T12:18:43.059+03:002015-04-27T12:18:43.059+03:00Terremoto in Nepal: i morti sono più di 3.600. &qu...Terremoto in Nepal: i morti sono più di 3.600.

Aftershocks tormented them, making buildings sway and sending panicked Kathmandu residents running into the streets.<br /><br />The cawing of crows mixed with terrified screams as the worst of the aftershocks -- magnitude 6.7 -- pummeled the capital city. It came as planeloads of supplies, doctors and relief workers from neighbouring countries began arriving in this poor Himalayan nation. No deaths or injuries were reported from the early Sunday afternoon quake, but it took an emotional toll.<br /><br />"The aftershocks keep coming ... so people don't know what to expect," said Sanjay Karki, Nepal country head for global aid agency Mercy Corps. "All the open spaces in Kathmandu are packed with people who are camping outdoors. When the aftershocks come you cannot imagine the fear. You can hear women and children crying."........ctvnews.ca<br />26/4/15Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877698188774561460.post-78862380186630407882015-04-26T20:20:09.881+03:002015-04-26T20:20:09.881+03:00Nepal earthquake: Rescue effort intensifies...
