Nepal Earthquake Situation Update (13 May 2015)
Abstract:
Following the 7.8 M earthquake that struck Nepal on 25 April, relief efforts continue to focus on reaching an increasing number of areas. The geographic area affected by the earthquake is extensive and includes mountainous regions with disperse rural populations as well as some very densely populated districts and cities. An earthquake registering 7.3 magnitude struck Nepal on 12 May, causing additional damage and hampering aid efforts already hindered by numerous aftershocks, poor weather and damaged infrastructure.
