Nepal Earthquake kills more than 2,500

Nepal has suffered the worst Earthquake in 80 years (7.8 Magnitude), and more that 2,500 people have been confirmed dead in the region, mostly in Nepal. The Earthquake reached the slopes of Mount Everest which triggered an avalanche that buried part of the base camp packed with foreign climbers preparing to make their summit attempts. At least 18 people died there and 61 injured. The Earthquake centered outside Kathmandu, and was strong enough to be felt by parts of India, Bangladesh, China's region of Tibet and Pakistan. At least 1,152 people died in Kathmandu and with search and rescue efforts far from over, it is unclear how much the death toll will rise.
