Nepal. 5th May, 2015. Women mourn the death of a family member in Bhaktapur. A major earthquake hit Kathmandu mid-day on Saturday, April 25th, and was followed by multiple aftershocks that triggered avalanches on Mt. Everest that buried mountain climbers in their base camps. Many houses, buildings and temples in the capital were destroyed during the earthquake, leaving over 7500 dead and many more trapped under the debris as emergency rescue workers attempt to clear debris and find survivors.
