En fotos, el drama de Nepal

Nepal el domingo quedó en estado de shock un día después del terremoto de magnitud 7,8 que causó destrucción generalizada en todo el país y ya casi 4 mil vidas humanas.

El terremoto redujo a escombros barrios enteros. Los equipos de rescate no pudieron llegar a aldeas remotas de Nepal cerca del epicentro del terremoto, y las agencias de ayuda advirtieron todo el rigor de la muerte y la destrucción que comenzaba a emerger.

Como fuertes réplicas sacudieron Nepal por segundo día consecutivo, los hospitales del país se desbordan de muertos y heridos. Los equipos de búsqueda continúan buscando sobrevivientes entre los escombros. Familiares de las víctimas inundaron el famoso templo hindú de Pashupatinath en las afueras de la capital, Katmandú, para participar en los funerales masivos.

"Nuestro país está en un momento de crisis y que requerirá un gran apoyo y ayuda", dijo a la televisión india el ministro de Información nepalí Minendra Rijal dijo.

En estas imágenes, apenas algo del gran alcance de las secuelas del terremoto:

Nepalese novice Buddhist monks living at the Bodhgaya Tergar monastary offer prayers for the victims of an earthquake in Nepal at the Bodhgaya Mahabodhi temple in the Indian town of Bodhgaya on April 26, 2015. Powerful aftershocks rocked Nepal April 26, 2015, panicking survivors of a quake that killed more than 2,300 and triggering fresh avalanches at Everest base camp, as rescuers dug through rubble in the devastated capital Kathmandu. Terrified residents, many forced to camp out in the capital after the April 25, 2015, quake reduced buildings to rubble, were jolted by a 6.7-magnitude aftershock that compounded the worst disaster to hit the impoverished Himalayan nation in more than 80 years.

 A major 7.8 earthquake hit Kathmandu mid-day on Saturday, and was followed by multiple aftershocks that triggered avalanches on Mt. Everest that buried mountain climbers in their base camps. Many houses, buildings and temples in the capital were destroyed during the earthquake, leaving thousands dead or trapped under the debris as emergency rescue workers attempt to clear debris and find survivors.
