Three days after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Central and Western Regions of Nepal, aftershocks continue to affect the daily lives of people. Many people continue to sleep outdoors. On 27 April, the Government has issued a public statement dispelling rumors of another imminent large earthquake and encouraging people to return home, where possible. (Source: NEOC - http://neoc.gov.np/en/) Over the past 24 hours, the Government increased the number of deaths from 2,288 to 3,351 people. At the same time, the number of injured rose from 5,850 to 6,833 people. These numbers are expected to increase further as search and rescue teams reach remote areas. Most of the deaths are recorded in
Bhaktapur, Kathmandu and Lalitpur.
