The death toll in Nepal continues to climb after a massive 7.8 Richter scale earthquake hit Nepal on Saturday, killing thousands and flattening buildings, including centuries-old World Heritage sites. The full scale of the damage is still unclear as rescue operations are ongoing. The earthquake also affected parts of India, Tibet and Bangladesh. For more details on emergency response efforts, FSRN’s Nell Abram spoke with Devendra Tak, media manager for Save the Children in Nepal.
