Sadly No Warning,
[An earthquake struck remote western
Nepal on Friday.
Security forces have been deployed to help
rescue efforts in the rugged districts
of Jajarkot and West Rukum, 500km
(310 miles) west of Kathmandu.
Strong tremors were felt far away in the
Nepalese capital and in cities in
neighbouring India, including Delhi.
An army spokesman said more than 100 people
had been injured. Jajarkot's hospital is
packed with the wounded.
One survivor, Geethakumari Bista,
told the BBC that rescuers saved her elder daughter,
but she lost her younger daughter.
"We three were in the same room on the
top floor. Everything happened so suddenly.
We couldn't understand what was happening,"
she recalled.
After their house collapsed,
they were buried in the rubble.]
