Kathmandu After the Earthquake
Rescue efforts continue in Nepal's capital.
As night fell Monday in Kathmandu, the city was lacking in nearly every essential supply needed by the survivors of Saturday's 7.8 magnitude earthquake—the worst to hit Nepal since 1934.
Tens of thousands of people who have lost their homes or are afraid to return to them are now sleeping in tent cities set up around the capital. Kathmandu district chief administrator Ek Narayan Aryal reported that the aftershocks have made rescue work challenging, telling the press earlier today that "even the rescuers are scared and running because of them."
