Nepal earthquake: Thousands spend night outdoors in cold

Thousands of people in a remote, mountainous area of western Nepal were forced to spend the day outside in the bitter cold after their homes were severely damaged by an earthquake on Friday.

In the earthquake, 157 persons perished and more than 300 were hurt.

Search and rescue operations, according to authorities, are coming to an end.

The poor are now being given sanctuary, and essential supplies are being organized. However, rescue team informed the BBC that they lacked sufficient tents.

Hundreds of people who had lost their homes spent the night outside or in improvised houses.

We have been forced to live in this condition, said one patient who lost her sister in the disaster. We have misplaced all. There is no house or meal. We were all left by my girlfriend. We require assistance.

The more distant areas of the two towns hardest affected by the 6.3-magnitude disaster, Jajarkot and Rukum West, are the focus of relief efforts.

There are more and more accounts of horrific events, wonderful escapes, near calls, and the devastating loss of loved ones and friends.

One of them is Baljit Mahar, who lost his son of seven years old.

In the isolated community of Chiuri in the mountainous Jajarkot area, Mahar told Reuters,” We could not save him, while all the other six members of the family were able to jump out as soon as the disaster jolted us from our rest.”

He removed his father’s system from the dilapidated front of their single-story mud and stone home.

Mahar continued,” I have been left without everything; all of my possessions and clothing are under the wreckage.

Baljeet BK, another Rukum victim, begged the government for help in providing shelter for the now-homeless:

” There is nothing to eat, and there is nowhere to be.” People are spending the night inside. We must remain in this chilly weather. Whole homes are no longer there.

The energy death of those who passed away during the earthquake is being prepared for in Jajarkot’s most vulnerable areas.

In addition to grieving the loss of loved ones, people are also concerned about potential further waves.

Officials in Jajarkot and West Rukum have advised residents to be away from their homes.

Since Friday, the area has experienced more than 250 waves. Six of the waves had amplitude greater than four, according to the National Earthquake Measurement and Research Center.

The Bangladeshi government has promised to rebuild the affected areas within a year and has agreed to accept assistance from friendly nations.

Additionally, the officials have stated that they will offer free medical care at facilities for the injured.

They urged people to be aware of phony pleasure offers.
