Humanitarian response to the 2015 Nepal earthquake

Turkey has dispatched a total of 70 trucks of humanitarian supplies to quake-hit regions in northern Iraq, the head of a
Turkish aid agency said on Nov. 15.

Bulgaria will grant the amount of USD 40 000 in humanitarian aid to the Nepalese children and their families, who were affected by the disastrous earthquake, which hit the country on April 25.

Nepal government has urged international rescue teams to retract from its territory. The official reason pointed out was that at this point the hope for finding survivors is minimal, as reported by bTV.

As the death toll reached 6621 people, the authorities in Nepal ruled out the possibility of finding any more survivors from the disastrous earthquake, which hit the country on April 25.

According to the latest official information, the number of people, who were injured in the earthquake, stood at 14 021.

A new avalanche in Rasuwa in Eastern Nepal has left up to 250 people missing, according to media sources.

An official is quoted by iTV News as saying the trekking area of Rasuwa in Nepal, north of the capital city Kathmandu, was hit by an avalanche on Tuesday afternoon (evening in Nepal).

The new avalanche has also been reported by the BBC.

The 7.8-magnitude quake that hit Nepal on Saturday that destroyed buildings in Kathmandu and severely affected rural areas has seen the death toll rise to 4,310 with almost 8,000 injured, say officials.

Water, food and electricity are in short supply.

Rescuers in Nepal battled April 28 to reach remote communities devastated by a huge earthquake that has killed at least 4,310 people, as the impoverished country's leader said relief workers had still not reached many of the worst-hit area.

The deadly earthquake in Nepal has affected around 8 million people across 39 of the country's 75 districts, according to estimates of the United Nations.

According to the UN, 1.4 million are in need of food aid after the massive earthquake on Saturday.

The Bulgarian Red Cross has joined the emergency appeal launched by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to help the people in Nepal affected by the devastating earthquake on 25 April.

A National Charity Campaign in support of earthquake victims in Nepal has been launched, the Bulgarian Red Cross announced on its website.

According to most recent estimates, more than 1,900 people have lost their lives in Nepal after the terrible earthquake which struck the country on Saturday morning.

This international tragedy is given “life” through photos and videos that saw the light of day. Among them is the following CCTV video which captured the moment of the earthquake.
