Kathmandu, April 28 (RHC)-- The prime minister of Nepal has warned the death toll from Saturday’s devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake could reach 10,000. The toll now stands at over 4,300 and is continuing to climb, with 8,000 injured.
While humanitarian aid has begun to reach the capital Kathmandu, residents of remote villages remain cut off by landslides, as they struggle to bury their dead. Entire villages have reportedly been flattened.
Nepal has attempted to airdrop supplies, while residents complain of a dire need for food and water. UNICEF spokesperson Christophe Boulierac said up to one million children require urgent aid.
