Default Nepal earthquake, death toll rises above 3000...

More than 100 people are known to have died in a powerful earthquake that struck Nepal, wrecking many historic buildings, officials have said.

The quake measured 7.9 and struck an area between the capital Kathmandu and the city of Pokhara, the US Geological Survey said.

Tremors were felt across the region, as far afield as Pakistan, Bangladesh and neighbouring India.

A Nepali minister said there had been "massive damage" at the epicentre.

"We need support from the various international agencies which are more knowledgeable and equipped to handle the kind of emergency we face now," Information Minister Minendra Rijal.

Bodies have been pulled from the rubble of collapsed buildings in Kathmandu

Among those wrecked was the landmark Dharahara tower, with many feared trapped in its ruins.

After the earthquake struck, concerned residents came out into the streets. Mobile phones and other communications have been disrupted.

There are also reports of damage to the airport in the capital. Injured people have been brought to the main hospital.

"It was very scary. The earth was moving... I am waiting for treatment but the [hospital] staff are overwhelmed," a labourer who injured his arm in a collapsing wall told AP.


Aftershocks could still be felt across the region sometime after the initial quake.

Mountaineer Alex Gavan tweeted that the quake caused an avalanche on Mount Everest.

The Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has held meeting with ministers to review the situation. Pakistan's Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, has pledged help for the Nepalese authorities.

It is thought to be the worst earthquake to strike Nepal since the devastating one in 1934, which all but destroyed Kathmandu

A powerful earthquake — the country's worst in 80 years — rocked mountainous Nepal on Saturday, killing more than 1,800 people and leveling buildings and centuries-old temples. Dozens if not hundreds remained trapped under mounds of rubble.

Hospitals in the capital of Katmandu were so crowded that many of the injured were treated outside in the open, according to local media. The magnitude-7.8 quake, which shook a wide swath of northern India, Bangladesh, Tibet and Pakistan, also triggered avalanches in the Himalayas, killing at least 10 people on Mount Everest.

Nepal police said at least 1,865 people were killed. Given the scale of the destruction, the death toll was expected to rise. An emergency Cabinet meeting designated 29 districts as crisis zones, the Home Affairs Ministry said.


Tens of thousands of people, fearful of aftershocks bringing down more buildings, gathered outside during the night.

"My entire neighborhood is still in shock," said Chiranjibi Gurung in Katmandu. "My children who were inside the houses at the time of the earthquake are scared to go inside now even at this time of the night."

Around 180 bodies were pulled from the ruins of the nine-story Dharhara Tower in the center of the capital, China's official Xinhua News Agency reports. It said about 200 were feared trapped in the rubble of the tower in the city's historic Basantapur Durbar Square.

"We had heard the earthquake stories from our ancestors and how I remember my grandparents telling me about the devastation of the 1934 earthquake and how it uprooted the Dharahara Tower then," said Sabita Lal of Katmandu. "I saw the same thing happen today to the tower. It was a massive one."

Another Katmandu resident, Deepen Bista, whose house was damaged, said the big jolt "was longer than we had experienced before, it lasted a little more than a minute." The downtown area of the capital — with old houses and narrow lanes — was hardest hit, he said.

City hospitals were quickly overwhelmed. Dozens were gathered in the parking lot of Norvic International Hospital, where thin mattresses were spread on the ground for patients rushed outside, some wearing hospital pajamas. A woman with a bandage on her head sat in a set of chairs pulled from the hospital waiting room. Doctors and nurses had hooked up some patients to IV drips in the parking lot, or were giving people oxygen.

The quake struck before noon local time about 50 miles northwest of Katmandu in an area that the U.S. Geological Survey calls one of the most seismically hazardous regions on Earth. It is at the spot where the India plate collides with the Eurasia plate in a process that created the towering Himalayas.

The quake, which was felt as far away as Lahore in Pakistan, Lhasa in Tibet, and Dhaka, Bangladesh, was followed by about 15 aftershocks, including one registered at a magnitude of 6.6. At least 34 were killed in India, 12 in Tibet and two in Bangladesh. Two Chinese citizens died on the Nepal-China border.

Finance Minister Ram Sharan Mahat said on Twitter that the quake had destroyed about 90% of about 1,000 homes and huts in the Laprak and Barpak villages near the epicenter

The humanitarian aid group Oxfam said it was sending a team of technical experts from Britain to provide clean water, sanitation and emergency food supplies. "Communication is currently very difficult," said Cecilia Keizer, Oxfam country director in Nepal. "Telephone lines are down, and the electricity has been cut off, making charging mobile phones difficult. The water is also cut off."

Keizer said the quake had destroyed many of Katmandu's old houses and that at least one large apartment block had collapsed. "People are gathered in the thousands in open spaces and are scared, as there have been several aftershocks," she said.

In Winchester, Va., Kriti Hada, a 20-year-old nursing student from Nepal who is attending Shenandoah University, said her sister in Nepal managed to get through by phone.

Although she, her mother and another sister were unhurt, they were frightened by the intensity and duration of the aftershocks, which are continuing, Hada told USA TODAY.

Hada said her relatives, like hundreds of others who survived the initial quake, were remaining outside until the seismic activity ceases. "We have very limited open spaces and they are surrounded by tall buildings that are also fragile," Hada said.

Numerous countries around the world pledged immediate aid and supplies. The U.S. Mission in Nepal released an initial $1 million for immediate assistance. The embassy also said a U.S. search-and-rescue team is preparing to fly to Nepal. In addition, the U.S. Agency for International Development was sending a disaster assistance response team. India, Pakistan, China, France and Britain also said they would assist in the relief effort.

Within hours, an Indian Air Force C-130 landed at at Katmandu's airport with 39 disaster relief workers and 3.5 metric tons of supplies, according to a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense.

Several buildings collapsed in the center of the capital, the ancient Old Kathmandu, including centuries-old temples and towers. Among them was the Dharahara Tower, one of Katmandu's landmarks built by Nepal's royal rulers in the 1800s and a UNESCO-recognized historical monument. It was reduced to rubble and there were reports of people trapped underneath. The Katmandu Valley is densely populated with nearly 2.5 million people, and the quality of buildings is often poor.

Dhany Osman, an editor with The Straits Times of Singapore said he was at Katmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport when the quake struck.

"As bits of the ceiling began to fall, passengers who were waiting for their flights began to panic and started running out of the terminal, with some tripping over each other," he wrote. "Despite the nearest exit door being just 10 (yards) away, a group of Nepali men smashed open a glass panel and climbed out of it. I tried telling people around me to calm down but they kept shoving each other to get out."

Although the extent of the damage and the scale of the disaster are yet to be ascertained, the quake will likely put a huge strain on the resources of this poor country best known for Everest, the highest mountain in the world. The economy of Nepal, a nation of 27.8 million people, is heavily dependent on tourism, principally trekking and Himalayan mountain-climbing.

This is a truly horrific catastrophe and the casualties just keep increasing with each new report. Those poor people need all the aid the world can give.

I suppose if anything can mitigate our sorrow, it is that at least - for once - this is not man-made loss of thousands of lives but the cruelty of nature instead.

American Google executive Dan Fredinburg is among at least 17 people who died in a huge avalanche on Mount Everest which was triggered by a powerful earthquake in Nepal.

The 33-year-old, who described himself as an adventurer, was hiking with three other Google employees when the avalanche struck on Saturday.

The other three climbers in the group are safe, the tech giant said.

Aftershocks continue to strike region, with the latest reported to have set off new avalanches at Everest base camp and on nearby Mount Makalu, the world's firth highest peak.

There have been no immediate reports of more casualties.

Climber Adrian Ballinger tweeted: "Another big one. Really big. Rockfall off surrounding peaks in North Side #everest base camp. Worst possible news for south."

The aftershock struck as the first plane carrying 15 badly injured climbers landed back in Kathmandu.

The heavily bandaged survivors, including three from China, Japan and South Korea, were pictured travelling through the city shortly after touching down.

Saturday's earthquake, which has killed over 2,200 people, triggered the deadly avalanche, which began on Mount Kumori, a mountain just a few miles from Everest.

It gathered strength as it headed toward the base camp where climbing expeditions prepare to make their summit attempts.

Tourism ministry officials estimate that at least 1,000 climbers, including some 400 foreigners, were at base camp or on the ascent to the peak as the earthquake struck.

Simon Lowe, managing director of Jagged Globe that plans trips to the mountain, told Sky News: "It pulled down snow, rock and ice and took out about a centre-third of base camp and people in the area ran as best they could."

Officials at Nepal's mountaineering department said 17 bodies have so far been recovered, with the death toll expected to rise.

US-based Madison Mountaineering said its base camp doctor, Marisa Eve Girawong, is among the dead, while New Zealand-based Adventure Consultants said two Nepali members of staff were killed.

Mr Fredinburg's sister, Megan, wrote on his Instagram page: "I regret to inform all who loved him that during the avalanche on Everest early this morning our Dan suffered from a major head injury and didn't make it.

"We appreciate all of the love that has been sent our way thus far and know his soul and his spirit will live on in so many of us.

"All our love and thanks to those who shared this life with our favourite hilarious strong willed man. He was and is everything to us."

Climbing teams are scattered across base camp to search for survivors and rescue those who have been stranded.

Mr Lowe said some climbers were left trapped in Everest camps 1 and 2, above base camp, on the route leading to the top of the world's highest peak.

But he said the vast majority are safe: "The teams higher up the mountain, at camp 1 and camp 2, are safe. There are very many safe shelters at base camp."

Among the stranded Britons was Daniel Mazur, a Summit Climb expedition leader from Bristol, who tweeted: "A massive earthquake just hit Everest. Basecamp has been severely damaged. Our team is caught in camp 1. Please pray for everyone."

Azim Afif, leading a climbing team from the University of Technology in Malaysia, said his base camp group was in a tent waiting for lunch when suddenly the table and everything around them began shaking.

He said when they ran outside, they saw "a wall of ice coming towards us," and heard the cries of sherpa guides shouting for people to run for their lives.

Captain Tim Bradshaw, who is leading a British Army team climbing Everest, told Sky News his tent started to "rock and move" as the earthquake hit.

"Then, almost like thunder, huge boulders started to break around us from the side of the mountain and roll down towards the bottom, towards base camp," he said.

"Everyone here is fine... but we are on the other side of the mountain away from the Nepal side, quite away from the epicentre."

Romanian climber Alex Gavan tweeted: "Many dead. Much more badly injured. More to die if not heli asap."

..the death toll is still rising massively, but apparently the aid is getting through quite rapidly atm, I hope that it continues to do so....

At least 3,218 people are now known to have died in a massive earthquake which hit Nepal on Saturday, say officials.

Rameshwor Dangal, head of Nepal's disaster management agency, said another 6,500 people had been injured.

Dozens of people are also reported to have been killed in neighbouring China and India.

Thousands have spent a second night outside after the 7.8-magnitude quake, which also triggered deadly avalanches on Mount Everest.

Vast tent cities have sprung up in Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, for those displaced or afraid to return to their homes as strong aftershocks continue.

"We don't have a choice, our house is shaky. The rain is seeping in but what can we do?" 34-year-old shopkeeper Rabi Shrestha, who was sleeping by the roadside with his family, told AFP news agency.

Rescue missions and aid have started arriving to help cope with the aftermath of the earthquake, the worst to hit Nepal for more than 80 years.

Efforts to dig victims out from under the rubble of collapsed buildings in Kathmandu continued into Monday.

But home ministry official Laxmi Prasad Dhakal told Reuters rescuers were "in a really bad shape" after working non-stop for two days. "We are all about to collapse."

Meanwhile, officials have warned that the number of casualties could rise as rescue teams reach remote mountainous areas of western Nepal.

Initial reports suggest that many communities - especially those close to mountainsides - suffered significant quake damage.


Landslides have prevented rescue teams from reaching rural communities in the area where the quake was centred, chief Gorkha region district official Prakash Subedi said.

"Villages like this are routinely affected by landslides, and it's not uncommon for entire villages of 200, 300, up to 1,000 people to be completely buried by rock falls," World Vision spokesman Matt Darvas said. "It will likely be helicopter access only."

A man evacuated by helicopter to Pokhara, 200km from Kathmandu, said almost every home in his village of more than 1,000 houses had been destroyed, charity worker Matt Darvas of World Vision told the BBC.

In Dhading district, 80km west of Kathmandu, people were camped in the open, the hospital was overflowing, the power was off and shops were closed, Reuters news agency reported.

powerful aftershock was felt on Sunday in Nepal, India and Bangladesh, and more avalanches were reported near Everest.

The 6.7-magnitude tremor, centred 60km (40 miles) east of Kathmandu, sent people running in panic for open ground in the city.

It brought down some houses that had been damaged in the initial quake.

At hospitals rattled by the aftershocks, staff moved sick and injured patients outside on Sunday afternoon.

Both private and government hospitals have run out of space and are treating patients outside, officials say.

Deepak Panda, a disaster management official, said medical services were "overwhelmed with rescue and assistance requests from all across the country", Reuters reports.
