Nepal Earthquake Kills At Least 688; 7.8-Magnitude Temblor Worst To Hit Country in 80 Years

At least 688 people are dead after a massive 7.8-magnitude earthquake rocked Nepal Saturday, which collapsed homes and brought down centuries-old temples while triggering avalanches in the Himalayas. It was the worst earthquake to strike the country in more than 80 years.
The temblor shook the poor South Asian nation before noon and the most intense effects were felt in the capital, Kathmandu, as well as the densely populated Kathmandu Valley. Several powerful aftershocks were felt in the hours following the main quake.
The Home Ministry confirmed that among the deaths, two Chinese citizens were killed on the border, as well as 20 people in India, two in Bangladesh and six in Tibet. At the main hospital in Kathmandu, dozens of injured residents poured into the building, desperately needing treatment.
