On November 3, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck in Ramidanda Village of northwestern Nepal. Thus far, the deadly earthquake has killed at least 157 people and injured more than 165 as of November 9.
The earthquake has also damaged thousands of homes and forced people into tents, or worse, under the open sky. These are freezing temperatures, with snow on its way, and children are at risk of pneumonia and other health conditions. Adding to this, there is a lack of drinking water and food, and local hospitals and health facilities are overcrowded.
When it comes to disasters like this, it is children who are most vulnerable. These communities desperately need shelter, warm clothes and blankets, clean water, food and first aid but with roads damaged due to landslides, this will be a challenge.
Similar earthquake on April 25, 2015 a magnitude-7.8 earthquake hit Nepal. It was the largest earthquake in Nepal in 80 years. Less than three weeks later, on Tuesday, May 12, another earthquake measuring 7.3 struck the already devastated country. Together, the two earthquakes caused the deaths of nearly 9,000 people and injured nearly 22,000 more. During that time ASNEngr raised more than $15,000 and supported the affected people.
