On April 25, a 7.8 magnitude quake hit Nepal. The earthquake has caused over 6,000 deaths and over 13,000 injuries so far.

Half a million tents were needed for people who became homeless, having their houses destroyed in the quake. The government was able to give over 4,700 tents and 22,000 tarpaulins to those in need.

U.N. children’s agency said that there are over 1 million children in need of humanitarian aid. Having a limited amount of safe water to drink, the children’s lives are in danger of waterborne disease. UNICEF, The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, is already supporting and providing as much as they can.

Thousands of people are lining up for busses to leave the capital, scared of any more aftershocks that may occur.

“Until these aftershocks settle down, people will be terrified of them. News of them just consumes their conversations,” NPR’s Julie McCarthy told Morning Edition.

She added, “People tell me they’re afraid even to go back into their homes to grab a blanket.” http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2015/04/27/402521334/more-than-3-700-dead-in-nepal-as-earthquake-s-toll-rises

Rescue crews are trying to reach and save the survivors, but the locations are making it hard. Drivable roads are full of traffic.

“We are scared of the epidemics that may spread because of all those dead bodies,” a man waiting at Kathmandu’s main bus station told the BBC. “Just to be safe, I’m leaving town for a while.” http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-32507783

Meanwhile, busses and helicopters are transporting people out of the city into safer environments. It is estimated to cost billions to repair damages.
