By Mohsen Jabali, Zakaria Alghamdi and Yazan Alruwailli
An earthquake occurred in Kathmandu, Nepal, on April 25, 2015. With a magnitude 7.8 it was the strongest earthquake since 1990.
More than 7000 persons were killed and 14,000 injured. And more than 8 million citizens out of 28 million are in dangerous situations. In addition, more than 1000 European are missing in Nepal due to the crisis.
Nepalese people were shocked when the earthquake invaded Nepal soil. Thousands of people were lost after this natural disaster. Nepalese government still looking for missing people, many of them have been rescued while other are still under wreckage.
Nepal is one of the poor countries, which does not have plans to combat natural disaster, including earthquakes. The infrastructure is weak; it does not serve the citizens and tourists. Many tourists always come to visit the archaeological heritage; however, many foreign people are still missing.
Kathmandu's iconic Swayambhunath temple still stands tall at the hilltop, but the surrounding structures have been smashed. However, after this disaster, many famous attractions places that local citizens depend on to make money have been destroyed.
According to CNN, "The United Nations estimates that more than 3 million people are in need of food assistance-- and nearly half of those need it immediately. Emergency funding of $ 415 million is needed, the United Nations said."
Also according to latest news from CNN, 7,803 of people died in Nepal. The region of Kathmandu has the highest number of losses with 3,035 fatalities. Nepal's National Emergency Operation Center (NEOC) says, "403 people are believed to missing. It's the first time the agency has released a figure of those unaccounted for."
More than 10 % of citizen's homes were smashed (299,588) or destroyed (269,107), according to NEOC data.
Nepalese people are immobile and in dire need of humanitarian aid, many global countries, large companies, and institutions started collect cash donations, food and humanitarian for Nepalese people, that will restore a little hope.
