Hey everyone an earthquake of 7.9 recently just hit Nepal. The death toll is rising continuously with 700+ deaths reported as of now. Many people are feared to be trapped under the rubble and many are left homeless.Many of the historic monuments and temples have been reduced to rubble and completely destroyed. For those of you who don’t know, Nepal is a tiny country right below China. Nepal is rich in culture but poor financially and relief and rebuilding will be a difficult and extensive process. The government has declared a state of emergency. Please reblog this to bring awareness to this tragedy. Nepal needs all the support it can get.
