The death toll is expected to rise as emergency crews first have to clear roads blocked by landslides in many areas.
The recent earthquake in Nepal killed at least 157 people and injured hundreds more. Reuters reported this on Saturday, November 4.
Officials said at least 157 people died in the two counties. More than 140 people were hospitalized.
Rescue efforts are expected to be slow as emergency crews must first clear roads blocked by landslides in many areas. Today, rescuers are tearing apart the damaged houses with their bare hands. Local authorities believe the death toll could rise.
It is known that this earthquake is the strongest in the last eight years. Although its size was not severe, the damage and number of casualties were high due to the poor quality of construction in the area.
The agency wrote that the earthquake vibrated buildings in India, especially in the capital New Delhi, about 600 km from the epicenter.
We remind you that on November 3 an earthquake occurred in Nepal. At first, dozens of victims were reported, but after a few hours there were already about 70.
