Nepal Earthquake

 An Earthquake hit Nepal on Saturday April 25th with a magnitude of 7.8. At least 3,617 people have died and they are saying that 6,ooo are injured. One man was found 82 hours after the earthquake under some rubble at a hotel. The victim said he was forced to drink his own urine.  An avalanche on Mount Everest occurred after the Earthquake and three Americans were killed. A big aftershock occurred in Nepal, Bangladesh, and India on Sunday.

 Nepal is in desperate need of food and shelter. Children are hungry, freezing, and are at risk of getting disease. They are trying to send more rescue teams and get more shelter but it is very hard with so much damage and so many people. Hospital patients were forced outside and many people are sleeping outside their homes on carpet and mattresses. The worst part about these people who are sleeping outside because they lost their homes in the devastation is the heavy rain coming down on them in Nepal. We can only hope that more survivors are found, children and their families are receiving shelter and food, and that the injured are being taken care of.
